Best of the three high elevation campgrounds! Sugar Loaf and Brooklyn Lake are picturesque, but, you’re shoulder to shoulder with neighbors. No so at Nash Fork! Frankly, one of the nicest renovated with great tent pads and plenty of room between campsites comparatively! We had booked a campsite for 8 days at a lower elevation but abandoned it for one of the First Come, First Serve that was open at Nash Fork. No regrets!

The photos on Recreation.gov don't do this campground justice. It's beautiful. The only thing to be mindful of, it doesn't have water on site. I was here early August. It's about 4 miles from Sugarloaf and Medicine Bow Peak trails, and countless others.

Wonderful first-come, first-served camp sites in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Recent campground improvements include wonderful level tent pads and roomy drive in spots for campers and another vehicle Be bear-aware and follow park information for stowing food, etc. Also be MOOSE aware, and keep a HEALTHY distance between you and any moose you have the privilege of seeing! We were blessed with MANY sightings during our brief stay. ALL campgrounds in the area fill quickly and nearly all have no cell service. If you don't have a rewervation/ are meeting others, pre-arrange an alternate time and place to meet or connect at the camp entrance sign. There are some dispersed forest service camping opportunities nearby - it is a good idea to have a back up plan! Several campers had dogs with them.

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.

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.

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!

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
