About Ryan Park

Ryan Park Campground is located at 8,009 ft elevation on the Snowy Range Scenic Byway near Saratoga, Wyoming. The campground is next to Barrett Creek in the Medicine Bow National Forest and features 49 campsites (13 RV pull-through sites) and 1 group campsite. Sites feature picnic tables and fire grates, and toilets, potable water, and trash services are accessible during the summer season.

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The pit toilets were clean with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The campground was clean.
We had the tent only site 30 and it was the best in our section. It was bigger than the others because there was nothing behind it and only one of its next door sites was visible. It was on the stream side, although you could still hear road noise, luckily there wasn’t much traffic at night. Our first afternoon (sat) there were some ATVs going by but it wasn’t bad.
The sites that were in the center shared the field area for tents, so not ideal.
Surprisingly for Labor Day wkend, there were no late night loud groups or early morning “I’m up so everyone else should be too” people.
It’s wasn’t a “wow, this is gorgeous” campground, but it was well run and a great location.

Great campground, private sites, nice stream.

The site was mainly powered dirt and it was very dusty. When the rain came, the site became very muddy. One improvement would be to put some rock down at the campsite to make it a better overall experience.
Thanks.

This campground is very beautiful with a peaceful stream and trail surrounding it. Only reason for 3 stars is the campground host who lurked around our sites a bit too frequently. When attempting to park our van he even moved his ATV thing in front of us to intentionally make it awkward and difficult. As a group of 11 people of color we felt targeted.

Excellent campground. The hosts take amazing care of the bathrooms and sites. Potted flowers by the vault toilets which are always kept clean.

We were gone all day on Saturday and returned to find out that there had been a forest fire nearby. Neighborhoods had been placed on pre-evacuation notice. We wondered if there would have been a way to notify us if the campground had been evacuated? Many campers had left during the day on Saturday which we didn't realize until daylight on Sunday. The fire was put out and we were fine, but we wondered about the ability to notify campers who are away from the campground.

Ryan Park had the cleanest pit toilets we've seen in a Forest Service campground, complete with flowers at each. Some even had small LED lights at night. We'll be back!

Wonderful campground. It was beautiful, peaceful, and clean. There are so many beautiful hikes in the area. We were there in June and the hike we did still had snow.

Quiet during the week. Clean pit toilets. Need better fly control. Good base for exploring on the SxS. Biggest complaint is they doubled the price and have not made any improvements. We have visited this CG many times in the past.
