Medicine Bow National Forest Battle Creek Dispersed Sites
Dispersed Camping
A string of informal sites along Battle Creek where Forest Road 346 parallels the water for about two miles. Most spots accommodate 2-3 rigs with level ground under mature cottonwoods. Creek provides reliable water year-round, though filter it. Fire restrictions apply during dry periods — check current status in Laramie.
Road is maintained gravel suitable for any vehicle, but the best creek access requires high-clearance to navigate short side spurs. Popular with hunters in fall, nearly empty in spring. No facilities, pack out everything. Road can wash out during spring runoff — typically reopens by late May.
