About
Ryan Park Campground occupies a forested setting at 8,009 ft elevation along Barrett Creek in Wyoming's Medicine Bow National Forest. The campground provides 49 individual campsites, including 13 pull-through sites suitable for RVs up to 30 feet, plus a large group site that can accommodate up to 140 visitors. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with grate. Potable water, toilets, and trash services are available during the operating season. The campground lies along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (Highway 130), roughly 20 miles east of Saratoga. The surrounding landscape features evergreen trees and aspen that turn golden in fall, with abundant wildlife including elk, mule deer, moose, black bear, and bobcat. Recreation opportunities include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing in nearby streams and lakes, and wildlife viewing. Historic interpretive signs at the campground document its use as a Civilian Conservation Corps prisoner of war camp during the 1930s. The Brush Creek Visitor Center, located 2.5 miles west, provides information on the area's extensive recreational opportunities.
Directions
From Saratoga, travel south on Highway 130 for 8 miles, then east on Highway 130 for 15 miles. The campground is east of the small community of Ryan Park.
