What Guests Are Saying

Brooklyn Lake Campground offers a beautiful and clean setting with excellent hiking and fishing opportunities, complemented by knowledgeable and friendly camp hosts. While it can be busy due to nearby trailheads and some sites have limited lake views, the overall facilities are well-maintained, and the campground is accessible and quiet. Some visitors noted a need for improved water access and the presence of private cabins limiting lake access, but the positive experiences far outweigh the negatives.

We have been camping at Brooklyn Lake since the late 1970's and love it. Our campground hosts (Dennis and Merilee) were the best hosts we have ever experienced in 40+ years of camping in Wyoming. Unbelievable service and the vault toilets were the cleanest we have ever seen. Fantastic job! We also saw moose, deer and bald eagles almost every morning. The only negative was the development of cabins on the west and north side of the lake?! We restricted our fishing to the east and south sides of the lake since the privately-owned cabins had docks onto the lake. Seems odd that a National Forest doesn't have full access to a lake? But otherwise, we had a great time and will stay again next year.

Great campground! Not a ton of privacy, but the location is great and the setting is pretty. The camp hosts, Dennis and Mary, were the hardest working most engaged FS CG hosts we have ever met. They were great. Great fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing right around the campground. We'd go back to Brooklyn Lake for sure.

The camp hosts were incredible! They greeted us with all the necessary information and recommendations for hikes. The pit toilets were the cleanest I've ever seen.
