Camping On the Platte

Pack up the kids and the tent and head for the River! Camping on the Platte River is always a hit with the kids, but don't forget the mosquito repellant and sunscreen! Bring in your water, and pack out your trash. These sites DO offer restrooms (thank goodness!), but no other amenities.

Head west on Highway 30, out of Medicine Bow. Pass Hanna, and go straight on at Walcott Junction. Highway 30 becomes 130 at this point. Continue on for about another 15 minutes. Watch for a brown recreation site that says, Foote Access. There is one right before this one called Pick Bridge that is better marked. Foote access has better campsites and better wading. People enjoy fishing at either one.

This campsite is about 55 minutes from Medicine Bow. There are several other sites in the same area, all on the Platte River.

Check the roads before you travel!

This site is 5 minutes outside Saratoga. If the river is too cold for your tastes, try the hobo hot springs in Saratoga.
