Tunnel Campground

Area Status: Open

This campground is located along the Laramie River Road (County Road 103) near the confluence of the West Branch Laramie River and the Laramie River. It is situated in a mature lodgepole pine forest where the mountain pine beetle has been very active. As a result, many dead trees have been cut to provide for visitor safety. Although somewhat less shady than in years past, the facility still provides for a pleasant camping experience. Each of the 49 sites has a picnic table, fire grate and tent pad. All campsites with a tent pad have a bear locker. Popular activities include stream fishing, hiking in the Rawah Wilderness and wildlife viewing.
