Bobbie Thomson Campground

About

Bobbie Thomson Campground is a primitive, first-come, first-served campground located at 8,800 feet elevation in the Medicine Bow National Forest. The 16 campsites are situated along Douglas Creek, which offers fishing opportunities. Two pull-through sites accommodate RVs, though the remote access road with a single-lane bridge crossing limits suitability for very large rigs. The campground is accessed via a scenic but winding route from Albany, Wyoming, following Forest Roads 500 and 542 through the Fox Park area. Due to the high elevation, the campground is subject to seasonal closures based on snow conditions, typically opening in late spring or early summer and closing in fall.
