We've been coming to this campground for a literal three generations now. The forest service is great and it's an awesome place to beat the summer heat. It was sad a few years ago that the beetles had destroyed much of the forest. However when we went this year we were surprised to see that there has been a substantial amount of regrowth. Plus grass and strawberries have sprung up where trees were previously, helping with the dust. Excited to see the campground recovering.
We have camped at North Fork for almost 40 years. This was a very shady place before the pine bark beetle struck. Then it seemed barren and lonely when the dead trees were removed. Now with the sunshine the wild flowers are blooming and the new trees are starting to get bigger. It's a wonderful spot deer, birds, butterflies and chipmunks.
Lovely and quite. There are still quite a few sites even with some of them being closed off. Only draw back is that there are not much for flat tent areas due to the clearing of trees and the many stumps that are in the sites. Which leads to the next issue, make sure you have plenty of light at night or you will be tripping over all those stumps. Even at that I so much prefer it in the mountains than at the lake, much more peaceful. Oh and lots of trails to explore yet!
Great camping spot along the river. Many spots for RVs as well as tent camping. Great spot for anyone wanting easy access to the many trails in the area.
Atop the medicine bow mountain, you will find many campgrounds. Some big some small, they all have their pros and cons. The time we spent in the north fork campground was some of my favorite. We were treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding range, as well as the north for the creek that ran right behind our site. It's worth the 10 dollar fee. (Wich is paid with cash or check.) Friendly and knowledgeable staff , just please don't put Rick's in the fire pits, haha. #wheresValka
