Medicine Bow-Routt/Lincoln Park
Overview
Medicine Bow-Routt/Lincoln Park offers a tranquil escape within the Brush Creek-Hayden Ranger District. Located at an elevation of approximately 7,800 feet, this campground serves as a gateway to the high-country wilderness of southern Wyoming. Travelers visit to experience the untouched beauty of the national forest while remaining within reach of local mountain towns. It is a place where the sounds of the wind through the pines replace the noise of the city, providing a genuine mountain retreat for those looking to disconnect.
Location & Surroundings
Situated a short drive from the town of Saratoga, the park is surrounded by the Sierra Madre Mountains and the Medicine Bow range. The landscape is characterized by dense stands of lodgepole pine and vibrant wildflower meadows that peak during the summer months. Its proximity to the Snowy Range Scenic Byway makes it an ideal base camp for those wishing to explore one of the most picturesque drives in the American West while enjoying the crisp, high-altitude mountain air.

Clean beautiful campsite. The host does a great job keeping the place ready for new guests. I will be back
Joshua Erickson
A small, quiet campground. Not sure how people are reserving sites since it seemed to be first come first serve. No hookups, not a lot of space for giant campers, but there are a few spots. Small restroom, no running water except for a hand pump well.

Clean campground with toilet close to sites. Tent and camper friendly.

We had a fantastic campsite. The camp host came over and introduced himself and actually told us it was the best site in the campground. So we were lucky. The stars were so bright at night, they looked like Christmas lights. The rush of the river lulled us to sleep and we slept like babies. Will definitely go back and hope to get this same exact spot! Beautiful area.
