About
French Creek Campground is a small, primitive campground tucked into the Snowy Range of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest near Riverside, Wyoming. The 11-site campground accommodates tents and small trailers up to 32 feet and provides basic amenities including a vault toilet, potable water during the operating season, picnic tables, and fire grates at each site.
The campground serves as a base for exploring the surrounding area's recreational opportunities. Fishing enthusiasts can access North and South French Creeks nearby, which support populations of brook, brown, and rainbow trout. The Lower Tie Hack trailhead, located just a quarter mile east, provides access to day hiking and backpacking routes. Mountain biking and off-highway vehicle riding are also popular activities in the area.
Popular nearby attractions include Silver Lake, Lake Marie Falls, Mirror Lake, Medicine Bow Peak Trail, French Creek Canyon Trail, and Miners Cabin Trail. Winter activities in the Snowy Range include snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, though the campground itself is closed during winter months.
