About Esterbrook Campground
Nestled within a pine forest along a broad ridge, north of Laramie Peak, Esterbrook Campground is a terrific jumping-off point for recreating in the Laramie Peak Unit of the Douglas Ranger District. There are 12 widely separated campsites in a lightly wooded, rocky area, along with 2 vault toilets and potable water. There are 2 non-motorized access spurs from within the campground to the Sunset Ridge Trail and the OHV parking and Trailhead are just 1/2 mile to the west on FSRD 633. Along with the many trails open to all vehicles located within the Esterbrook area, are the Black Mountain Lookout Tower (OHV or walking recommended) and the Harris Park Trail which are located to the south off of FSRD 633.
