Our Take
What makes Willow Campground (WY) special
Perched along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway in the Libby Recreation Area west of Laramie, Willow Campground is a small, welcoming base camp for exploring one of Wyoming's most dramatic mountain drives. With 16 campsites equipped with vault toilets, this campground keeps things straightforward while putting you at the doorstep of exceptional alpine scenery. The Snowy Range rises sharply from the surrounding plains, and the byway that winds through it is one of the most breathtaking stretches of road in the state. From Willow Campground, you are minutes away from Mirror Lake, Lake Marie, and the high-altitude trails that thread through fields of wildflowers, rocky ridgelines, and snowfields that linger well into July. The campground sits at an elevation where the air is noticeably thinner and cooler, making it a welcome retreat during the heat of a Wyoming summer. Willow-lined streams and subalpine meadows surround the area, creating prime habitat for moose, mule deer, and a variety of mountain birds. Whether you are here to hike to the summit of Medicine Bow Peak, photograph wildflowers, fish the high-country lakes, or simply sit in your camp chair and watch the alpenglow paint the peaks at sunset, Willow Campground puts you right where the magic happens.
