Official Forest Service pageFriend Park Campground
Friend Park is set at the base of Laramie Peak, which is the tallest peak in the North Laramie Range and was a waypoint for Oregon Trail immigrants. At 7400 feet in elevation, there are 11 campsites, including 3 that are walk-in access/tent use only, and 2 vault toilets. The campground has trail access to both the Laramie Peak Trail and Friend Park Trail for non-motorized users. Motorized users of the Laramie Peak Trail will find the trailhead just 1/4 mile from the campground and please be aware Friend Park Trail is NOT open to motorized use. Fishing is available in the adjacent Friend Creek and surrounding beaver ponds. This site was approved for a fee change - Click here for more information
