Our Take

What makes Jack Creek Campground (WY) special

Jack Creek Campground is nestled in the Sierra Madre Range of south-central Wyoming, a pocket of mountain solitude that draws a steady but unhurried stream of visitors through the summer and into fall. Located near Saratoga, the campground offers 16 sites, including four pull-throughs that make life easier for those towing trailers or driving larger rigs. The Sierra Madre is one of Wyoming's quieter mountain ranges, and that is precisely its charm. Dense stands of spruce and aspen blanket the slopes, creeks tumble through rocky channels, and the air carries that unmistakable high-country crispness even in July. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, leading to ridgeline vistas and hidden alpine meadows. Fall brings a golden transformation as the aspens turn, drawing photographers and leaf-peepers who appreciate beauty without the crowds. Fishing in the nearby creeks and streams is a rewarding pastime, and the historic town of Saratoga, famous for its natural hot springs, makes a fine destination for a day trip or a post-hike soak. Jack Creek Campground offers an authentic Wyoming mountain experience for those willing to venture a little off the beaten path, and the reward is a landscape you might have all to yourself.
