1 night at Buford Canyon
Beautiful view and wonderful hosts. The cabin was well built - we stayed cozy even on a very windy and cold night. Will definitely be back.

Linda's cabin was exactly what we were looking for - a place to get off our phones, relax and have fun with our pup. I spent most of the daylight hours outside wrapped in a blanket on the Adirondack chairs with my furry buddy at my feet.
The cabin is well equipped with a a heater, microwave, mini fridge and electric kettle. There is also a propane BBQ just outside the cabin which we didn't use this trip, but will keep in mind for future visits.
Our pup, Petra, had so much fun and I felt very comfortable having her off leash while exploring the property. She loved the treats Linda left for her each day!
We were very comfortable; it was the perfect getaway.

Really beautiful spot! The cabin is the perfect size and well built. Huge windows overlook the view. You can’t see any neighbors which was perfect for us. Propane firepit was fantastic and Chas was a wonderful host! Very comfortable place - we hope to go back!

Weekend Trip to Little Cabin with a view
The cabin was a perfect mountain get away! Linda was extremely helpful, offering detailed directions, fresh cookies and fresh coffee in the morning. The property and view was breathtaking, pictures just don’t do it justice. The drive out is gorgeous and you get right into the mountains and backcountry. Amazing getaway for some peace and star gazing!

1 night at The Bird's Nest Yurt
The Bird’s Nest Yurt was lovely. Not too far from town, clean, well supplied and relaxing. The host was accessible and helpful. Gave us a recommendation for an outdoor sightseeing stop on our way there. If you are traveling to Laramie, WY I highly recommend checking it out.

The best camping in Medicine Bow National Forest, WY guide
Overview
About
Let the wild unspoiled natural world be your healer, and what better place to do that than Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. The forest is a whopping 2.9 million acre outdoor playground extending from northern Colorado to central Wyoming, and has got something for everyone and for every season. The diverse area also comprises the Thunder Basin Grasslands as well as numerous mountain ranges with huge elevation changes and diversity in terrain and wildlife. The area offers ample hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and riding (among other activities). In the winter come for snow sports and see everything in a different light. Lots of options for developed camping and even more for dispersed wilderness camping, mean you can really spend some time here exploring. Come and get your medicine!

Sugarloaf Campground
A great camp ground with two water pumps and bathrooms. Each area has a tent pad, fire pit and picnic table. Great views and very close to trails and tons of lakes. Campground was peaceful and quiet, unsure if one campground can hold more than one tent ours did not. Some places are first come first serve while others are reserved only, we got lucky on a Friday and snagged the last campground it’s really popular here!
No firewood available so remember to bring your own!

Curtis Gulch is a magical place as it's described. The La Bonte stream runs parallel to the campsite and is a short hike.
The only negative thing to camping there is the road leading into the area. It is very rough and narrow in some areas. Drive slow and a 4WD pickup pulling a camper can make it.
Do not expect cell service. All the camp sites are primative meaning no water or electrical hook-ups. There is one (what I would call) updated outhouse.
It's best to go during the week as it starts filling up on Friday.
We drove over to another campsite but the campsites were closer together and maybe only one was big enough to back a small RV into.
Fire rings are available. A pump is available with well water.
The area is clean.

A surprising gem of a campground! Beautiful large boulders similar to Joshua Tree.

Super windy spot but the rock features are very unique and there were even some climbers. The stars were GORGEOUS at night. My biggest complaint is that it's fairly close to the highway.

Camped there over the weekend, no one around except for 3 other camping groups in the upper loops. There is no potable water there anymore in the upper loops. might be down lower or near the boat ramp. Bring your paddleboards, kayaks and fishing poles as there is tons or shoreline to explore.

Busy in the summer, empty in the fall and spring during the cold months. Great rock climbing, hiking and fishing. Watch out for firearms shooting in the area.

Campbell Creek is a beautiful little campground tucked in among pine trees with rock formations on one side. There is plenty of space between sites and is super quiet. At least during my stay, we hardly saw anyone in the area as you are remote, with Douglas being the closest town. Note that there are warning signs of bears in the area, so you must practice food safety (food kept inside hard-sided trailers, vehicles, or bear resistant containers).

There are some really cool hike-in tent sites amongst the boulders. There is hiking and climbing just a short walk from the campground. The noise from the interstate is the only con to this campground.
