We have no camper reviews of this campground yet. Below are excerpts from the USDA Forest Service web site for this campground:

"...Live a little bit of history and enjoy an incredible view in southeastern Wyoming with an overnight stay at the Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout Tower.

Formerly used to detect fires, the live-in tower rises 55 feet above a forested mountaintop in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests. The tower was renovated and opened to the public for overnight rental in 1997.

The tower is at an elevation of 10,003 feet and visitors should be prepared for high altitude conditions. Summertime temperatures average 70 degrees but can drop as low as 30 degrees at night or during thunderstorms...

The Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout Tower may be rented from mid-June to October 1st, weather permitting. There is maximum reservation of 2 consecutive nights, no more than 10 nights per calendar year, and no more than 3 weekends per calendar year. A rental fee of $40.00 per night is charged for use of the tower.

Additional camping is allowed on the site, with a total of 10 occupants at the site.

Saddle and pack stock are allowed at the site but must be kept 500 feet from the tower’s base...."
