Sheriff Reservoir Campground
Sheriff Reservoir Campground
Sheriff Reservoir Campground is a small, primitive 5-6 site campground at 9,700 feet elevation in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, approximately 15 miles west of Yampa, Colorado.
The campground offers easy access to the reservoir for non-motorized watercraft (canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, belly boats) with both shore and dam access by foot or vehicle, though there is no potable water available and sites are first-come, first-served at $14/night.
The location also serves as a trailhead for multiple hiking trails including Sand Creek, Bunker Basin, and Black Mountain Creek trails, making it ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking a remote, quiet mountain experience.
