Sugarloaf Campground (WY)

Just opened in July starting with first come first serve and still had snow in the campground. However temperature were gorgeous, shorts and a T-shirt the whole time and barely needed a sweater ever. There's tons to do around the campground and in the area. Lots of alpine lakes around the area. Hiking trails to tour around the lakes or go up to the summit. Still some snow you have to cross on the trails at this time of year but it was melting fast. The hike to the top of medicine bow was a little sketchy at the very top with snow so I just scrambled to the side to get to the top of the saddle for the view but didn't bother with crossing all the snow for the actual summit. The lakes by the campground are great for a little put around in the kayak and some people were fishing there also. Lots to explore if you have OHVs or dirt bikes although not all the roads were open yet because of snow. Water hand pumped in campsite but no hookup for a hose for RVs, trash cans and bathrooms available. Definitely a must visit, and one to remember for the future.

Camped here the 23rd of September, Brrrr!! At nearly 11,000 feet it gets COLD at night. Also, VERY windy, I was afraid my cheap little tent might break or shred. Thankfully it held together. Near as we could figure it was about 10 degrees the night we were there! However, well worth it, especially if you are prepared. The scenery is SPECTACULAR!! Great short hikes right out of the campground, w... Camped here the 23rd of September, Brrrr!! At nearly 11,000 feet it gets COLD at night. Also, VERY windy, I was afraid my cheap little tent might break or shred. Thankfully it held together. Near as we could figure it was about 10 degrees the night we were there! However, well worth it, especially if you are prepared. The scenery is SPECTACULAR!! Great short hikes right out of the campground, with an abundance of alpine lakes. There are not very many campsites, but they are well laid out. Flat parking, table, fire ring, and tent pad. Toilets are vault, but clean and essentially odor free. The dirt road in from the Hwy is in relatively good condition, just a few potholes.
