Very pretty, but waaay back in there. Driving to it felt a little uncomfortable when traveling alone. The lake was pretty low. Looked more like a pond when I was there. The quaking aspens were cool.

Nice campsites with plenty of room between camps. Also is usually pretty quiet with incredible views of the stars!

The Freeman Reservoir Campground is located within the Medicine-Bow Routt National Forest. This area is a well used by hunters, hikers, and campers. There is a small day fee to park or camp here. I've seen people fishing at the reservoir. There are many trails and beautiful views near. The fall is incredible out here. There are many beautiful aspen trees.
