There are 102 recreational lakes in this area, with an extensive network of trails linking them including Brooklyn Lake, which is located 3 miles north of campground.
From Laramie, travel west 25 miles to Centennial on WY 130; Nash Fork is west 7.8 miles from Centennial to Brooklyn Lake Rd/ Forest Route 317. Turn right onto FR 317 and go 0.1 miles then turn left into campground.

With a partnership with Common Outdoor Ground, a volunteer group and Forest Service employees were able to clean up the campground and get it in working order.

There was 6 ft of snow and it was 12 degrees. I think it was nice but battling hypothermia made my vision a little blurry. Good times!
The campground has lost most of its trees, so it's kind of a desolate wasteland, but the view is delightful, and you're close to great hiking. Vault toilets, and a dumpster for your trash.
Stay away from here. Even in August there is snow on the ground. Your not allowed to come here, this is my special place and when u retire I will be a campground good here one summer. On a serious note, keep your food put up, there are bear. I've camped here several times, last time 2 came across my camp site in middle of the night. There are plenty of moose, elk, deer and other critters. Outhouses and well water. No electricity. Dress warm. Good luck finding enough wood for a fire
I have traveled through about 20 states & I think this area may be my favorite place. I love Medicine Bow national forest.
After striking out from two other full campgrounds I settled on this one.
Entire lot is first come first serve only and there were a handful of sites available. $10 a day to rent a site.
Like others said you will get some highway noise but the Campground itself is dispersed and you are not on top of each other.
