Deep Creek Campground

At Deep Creek Campground, the crisp mountain air and towering pines create an intimate alpine retreat for those seeking solitude in Wyoming's rugged backcountry. This rustic campground offers a true wilderness experience with basic amenities, pristine natural surroundings, and direct access to scenic hiking trails. The 12 small sites are thoughtfully arranged to maximize privacy while still fostering a sense of community among fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated at over 10,000 feet elevation in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, Deep Creek Campground provides a cool mountain escape even during peak summer months. The campground's proximity to Sand Lake and several hiking trails, including the popular Crater Lake Trail, makes it an ideal basecamp for fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing. Arlington, the nearest town, is about an hour's drive away, ensuring a remote and tranquil camping experience.

This campground caters to self-sufficient campers looking to immerse themselves in nature. While amenities are limited to vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, the trade-off is an unspoiled natural setting with excellent stargazing opportunities and the chance to spot diverse wildlife. Deep Creek Campground serves as a gateway to exploring the stunning Snowy Range, known for its wildflower-filled alpine meadows, crystal-clear lakes, and panoramic mountain vistas.
