About

Brooklyn Lake Campground is a scenic high-elevation destination in southeastern Wyoming's Snowy Range, located eight miles northwest of Centennial. At 10,500 feet, the campground offers 19 sites ranging from great to spectacular lake views, all set against the backdrop of pine forests and the snow-capped Browns Peak. The 36-acre lake provides excellent brook trout fishing and calm water ideal for canoeing and kayaking, with carry-down access for non-motorized watercraft. Facilities include two vault toilets, two hand-pump water stations, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Five sites can accommodate trailers up to 22 feet via pull-through configuration. The campground operates on a mix of reservable sites through Recreation.gov and first-come, first-served sites. Cash or check payment is required on-site; no credit cards accepted. Hikers can access the Sheep Lake Trail and Glacier Lakes Trail directly from the campground. The high elevation may require acclimatization for some visitors. Dogs must be kept on a leash. Maximum stay is 14 days, with quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Directions

From Laramie, travel 37 miles west on Highway 130, then turn north onto Brooklyn Lake Road (National Forest Road 315) and proceed 2.5 miles to the campground. The campground is approximately 8 miles northwest of Centennial, Wyoming.
