Setting

Limited privacy

Curtis Gulch Campground sits at 6,640 feet tucked into a bend of LaBonte Creek at the end of LaBonte Canyon. Surrounded by granite rock formations, aspens, and conifer forest, the facility offers six campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, pedestal grills, vault toilets, trash bins, and a hand-pump water well. LaBonte Creek runs past the sites, providing fishing for stocked rainbow trout. Non-motorized hiking begins on the Curtis Gulch Trail at the campground entrance, while the LaBonte Canyon and nearby Big Bear trails accommodate OHVs under 50 inches, bikes, and horses.

Getting there: From Douglas WY (30 miles), Take State Highway 91 west then south from Douglas for 22 miles, Converse County Road 16 continuing as Albany County Road 61 south for 14 miles, and east on Forest Road #658 for 4 miles.
