Located in the heart of Wyoming's scenic landscape, this public campground provides an ideal base for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure in one of America's most stunning regions.

The surrounding area captivates visitors with its dramatic mountain vistas, pristine wilderness, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities.

The peaceful waters reflect towering peaks and endless skies, creating memorable sunrise and sunset moments that define the Rocky Mountain experience.

Beyond the lake, the region offers extensive hiking and outdoor exploration. Nearby trails range from gentle walks suitable for families to challenging backcountry routes for experienced adventurers. Wildlife enthusiasts frequently spot elk, mule deer, and various bird species, particularly during early morning and evening hours. The natural landscape provides photography opportunities at every turn, whether you're capturing wildlife, wildflowers during peak season, or the brilliant star-filled nights that characterize high-elevation camping.

The campground serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the broader Saratoga and Encampment area. The charming town of Saratoga, with its frontier heritage and outdoor culture, sits nearby and offers supplies, dining, and local attractions. The region's rich mining history and scenic byways appeal to travelers interested in Western heritage and geology.

Lovely campground! It’s right on the edge of the small town of Saratoga WY. It’s also a 7 minute drive to the free local hot springs! Which are a must visit while you’re staying here, plus they have showers! The campground has $15 non electric sites and $25 electric site. Pay with cash by using the red fee envelopes. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Vault toilets for bathrooms. The road... Lovely campground! It’s right on the edge of the small town of Saratoga WY.

Pay with cash by using the red fee envelopes. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Vault toilets for bathrooms. The road to the campground has some potholes but overall it’s fine. There is also cell service here! I stayed here for a night in November while I was hiking in Medicine Bow National Forest (which is an incredible area!) Hope this helps!

Spent a Sunday night in early September 2025. It is a lovely quiet place to overnight. There was probably 10 to 12 other campers, looked like mostly other travelers. It was very quiet. Many sites with electricity. But as other reviews have said MOSQUITOS! We had to go in about 30 minutes before dark, around dusk, because the mosquitoes swarmed! It was like a cloud! I don't think mosquito repellent... Spent a Sunday night in early September 2025. It is a lovely quiet place to overnight.

Other than that it was lovely and going in a little early is no big deal. Enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. Take a look at the City of Saratoga website that talks about the lake. They also have a dump station just minutes away for $5

Free hot springs! But leave a donation because it’s worth a charge. Only 20 miles off of I 80 and we always stop on our journey east!

This campground was easy to get to and had plenty of electrical hook ups. It is $25 per night now if you hook up to electricity but it seems a sheriff patrols at night so we had no worries of thieves like a previous reviewer mentioned. The bugs are horrible but its to be expected near water. Over all a great place to stop!
