Bow River Campground
Bow River Campground hosts 13 campsites and is located on the upper Medicine Bow River. The campground is located next to Bow River in a heavily wooded forest of Lodgepole and Spruce pines and some young Aspen. The sites are well separated with heavy understory and middle-story which provides privacy. The campground is quiet and tranquil. This is a pack-in pack-out campground. No trash service in the area.
OHVs can explore the Campbell Lake Loop after July 1, approximately 9 miles south of the campground. Pick up a motor vehicle use map for free at the Ranger station in Saratoga or call to have one emailed to you.
Nearby hiking trails include Rock Creek, Sheep Lake, and Crater Lake.
