Campground Overview
About Bow River Campground
What sets the Bow River Campground apart is its intimate setting amidst a dense forest of Lodgepole and Spruce pines, offering just 13 secluded campsites along the upper Medicine Bow River. This quiet and remote location is ideal for those seeking solitude, with thick vegetation and strategic spacing creating a private and tranquil atmosphere.
Campers here enjoy basic but sufficient amenities, such as picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, while the lack of potable water and trash services underscores its rustic, pack-in-pack-out nature. Nearby, outdoor enthusiasts can explore scenic hiking trails like Rock Creek and Sheep Lake or venture slightly further to the Campbell Lake OHV Loop after July 1. Anglers will appreciate the river's thriving population of brook, brown, and rainbow trout.
Located approximately 40 minutes from Saratoga, Wyoming, the campground provides a gateway to the Medicine Bow National Forest's natural beauty. Its proximity to the area's fishing spots and hiking trails makes it a great choice for weekend getaways or short stays centered around outdoor recreation.
