Facilities

Hog Park has 50 sunny campsites, spread over three loops in the campground.

There are 27 reservable sites in the first two loops: sites 1 through 16, and sites 18,19,31,32 and sites 44 through 50.

The campground recommends tents and small campers for the 22 non-reservable, first come sites on the back loop. These are smaller sites and the loop has a tight turning radius.

Facilities include picnic tables, drinking water, fire grates, vault toilets and trash service. There is a boat ramp near the campground.

Natural Features

Southwest of Saratoga, Wyo. on the Medicine Bow National Forest lies the Sierra Madre Range, which is a part of the main range of the Rocky Mountains. There are two wilderness areas in the Sierra Madre Range: Huston Park Wilderness and Encampment River Wilderness. Named for the famous battle between Indians and Fur Trappers in 1841, the 57-mile Battle Pass Scenic Byway runs through this area. This byway is known for its scenic views, especially during fall when the colors are changing.

This area has many activities such as hiking, fishing, mountain biking, camping, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing.

The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland encompass nearly 3 million acres from central and northeastern Wyoming to north-central Colorado.

This campground has been logged to remove all beetle killed trees and is now a sunny campground with a broad view of the reservoir and surrounding mountains. Areas of interest include the Continental Divide, Green Mountain Falls and the Encampment River headwaters.
