Saratoga Lake Campground
Overview
Saratoga Lake Campground offers a tranquil retreat for travelers looking to experience the raw beauty of Wyoming. Managed by the Town of Saratoga, this municipal facility provides a scenic lakeside setting that blends simplicity with accessibility. It serves as an ideal basecamp for those who prioritize natural landscapes and water access over high-end resort luxuries. Whether you are passing through or staying for a week, the park offers a relaxed atmosphere where the sound of the wind across the water defines the experience.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just a few miles north of downtown Saratoga, the campground sits directly on the shores of Saratoga Lake. The surrounding landscape features expansive high-desert vistas framed by the distant peaks of the Snowy Range and Sierra Madre Mountains. The elevation provides cool summer nights and clear, unpolluted skies perfect for stargazing. Being close to the North Platte River valley, the area is a lush oasis within the rugged Wyoming plains, offering a unique geographical transition.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground provides a mix of electric hookup sites and primitive dry camping areas to accommodate various RV styles. Each site typically includes a picnic table and a fire ring, encouraging outdoor living. On-site facilities include a public boat ramp and multiple fishing piers, making water access effortless for anglers and boaters. While the park maintains a rustic feel, visitors have access to a dump station, potable water, and restroom facilities, ensuring basic comforts are met during a stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the lake itself, renowned for trout and walleye fishing as well as seasonal ice fishing. A short drive into town leads to the famous Hobo Hot Pool, a free public mineral spring open year-round for soaking. For those seeking adventure on the water, the North Platte River offers world-class fly fishing and float trips. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the nearby Medicine Bow National Forest, while history buffs will appreciate the charm of downtown Saratoga’s local shops.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and anglers who prefer a quiet, natural environment over a crowded commercial park. It is a fantastic choice for families looking for a lakeside getaway with plenty of space for kids to explore. Budget-conscious RVers will appreciate the straightforward amenities and the proximity to free local attractions. If you value waking up to water views and having immediate access to Wyoming’s wilderness, this campground fits your travel style perfectly.

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 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!

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!

Great camping spot only 20 minutes off the freeway, very clean and very affordable, big thank you to the staff here though we didn't see them at all!

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 would have helped. 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

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!
