Natrona County Pathfinder Reservoir Sage Campground

County-managed Sage Campground sits on the shores of Pathfinder Reservoir, roughly 9 miles from Alcova in central Wyoming's high desert country. The campground operates year-round and provides basic facilities including restrooms and a dump station for RVs. Campers park directly beside the lake, with immediate water access for fishing or launching small watercraft.

Bug populations can be significant during warmer months, particularly around the water's edge. The exposed lakeside location offers minimal natural shade but provides unobstructed views across the reservoir. For campers wanting additional shelter, Natrona County Pathfinder Reservoir Diabase Campground sits less than half a mile southwest with a slightly different setting.
