And, as luck would have it, we recently added all of the campsite photos for those two darling campgrounds. Both campgrounds are sitting at an elevation of about 6,400 feet and offer breathtaking views of the mountains and rivers. They also both offer a variety of outdoor recreation your family will be sure to enjoy!

Other activities include backpacking, hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing. Lone Rock Campground is known for a great place to view moose, deer, owls, eagles and other wildlife.

Esterbrook
Esterbrook is a smaller campground with a total of 12 campsites and is located in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming. Don’t bother making reservations, because this campground is first-come, first-serve. The campsites can accommodate up to ten people per campsite with two vehicles and trailers (up to 22 feet long).
