About
Willow Campground is a small, forested campground located along Libby Creek in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. The creek flows down from Libby Lake, providing a scenic backdrop and fishing opportunities. The campground sits off the Snowy Range Scenic Byway in the Libby Recreation Area, roughly 32 miles west of Laramie near Centennial. The campground has 16 sites with picnic tables, fire rings with pedestal grills, and vault toilets. Hand-pump potable water is typically available from July through September, though visitors should bring their own supply as availability varies with weather and maintenance. Sites accommodate trailers under 22 feet. Nearby attractions include Barber Lake Picnic Site, which features a retention pond stocked with rainbow trout during summer months, and the Corner Mountain Trail system for hiking. The campground operates with a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served sites through Recreation.gov.
Directions
From Laramie, travel 32 miles west on State Highway 130 to the Libby Recreation Area. Continue two miles northwest of Centennial on Highway 130, then turn west onto Forest Road 351 (Barber Lake Road) for 0.5 miles to the campground.
