Our reservation at Porcupine Pine
Campground was not correct due to a glitch on the website that I made in January. But our camphost, Pat, was amazing! He worked with us to get our reservation corrected and made our stay great! Amazing to work with!

Great, quiet, off the beaten path campground. Campground (including pit toilets) was clean and host friendly. We stayed in site 2 which was fairly large. Sites 13-15 all have open view of meadow with sunset...will try for those on next visit, although at least one of them is first-come only. We hiked forest service roads nearby, drove to Medicine Wheel National Monument (definite must see) and hiked to see Porcupine Falls (the trail is a significant descent but worth it). Campground was full during our June 21-23 stay, which was encouraging to see. We showered and got an afternoon snack at WY High Country Lodge (minutes down USFS Road 13); friendly staff. I was a bit nervous that Alt Hwy 14 would not be open for our June travel (because of snow) but it was. We saw snow up at Medicine Wheel. Have also heard Five Springs Campground is beautiful. Definitely would return to area.
