Recreation

Rob Roy Reservoir is 500 acres and is a popular area for boating and fishing. It is accessible through the nearby Rob Roy Day Use Area which has a boat ramp for access. Many visitors bring recreational vehicles including dirt bikes, UTVs, and ATVs to drive around on the numerous Forest Service roads that will take you throughout the Snowy Range. If you pay for camping it is not necessary to pay again for accessing the boat ramp / day use area. Just leave the rear-view mirror hang in the vehicle that you take down to the boat ramp.

No reading yet, book on recreation.gov

recreation.gov lists 65 of the 69 campsites the agency files here. The rest aren’t on its booking system, so a reservation won’t get you one.

No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.

Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

Free forever, no booking kickbacks.

Who keeps the booking fee

The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service’s own recreation database flags it not open and publishes no reason and no date. That’s a flag, not a notice: the number below is the only way to be sure.
Cell signal: the Forest Service’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
Nearest place of any size: Albany, WY, 3.7 mi WNW (a census designated place). Straight line.
