About
Esterbrook Campground is nestled within a pine forest along a broad ridge north of Laramie Peak in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. At 6,300 feet elevation, the campground features 12 sites in a lightly wooded area of ponderosa pine, making it a favorite of both RV and tent campers. The campground serves as an excellent jumping-off point for recreating in the Laramie Peak Unit, which encompasses approximately 352,000 acres of the Laramie Range in central Wyoming.
The area is popular for diverse recreational activities including OHV riding, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, hunting, and fishing. Non-motorized access to the Sunset Ridge Trail is available at two points within the campground, while an OHV trailhead is located half a mile down Forest Road 633 for accessing the motorized trail system. Nearby trails include Upper Roaring Fork Trail, Friend Park Trail, North Laramie River Trail, Harris Park Trail, Laramie Peak Trail, Lost Creek Trail, and Albany Peak Trails.
The Laramie Peak area is home to diverse wildlife including mule deer, elk, black bear, whitetail deer, antelope, bald eagles, goshawks, bobcat, coyote, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. Fishing opportunities are available nearby at Lower Horseshoe Creek. The campground is easily accessible by automobile and is located approximately 3 miles east of the small community of Esterbrook on Forest Service Road 633.
