Boswell Creek Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Laramie Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Colorado. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 42°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the camp run cooler. The closest outing is the Mountain Home hike, about 3 miles away. The Peeler hike and the Quarter mountain biking trail are each about 6 miles off. Sage Campground, roughly 10 miles away, offers another camping option.
