Best Campgrounds near Casper, WY

184 Reviews

Campgrounds near Casper, Wyoming span from developed RV parks to rustic tent sites in both public and private settings. River's Edge RV and Cabin Resort and Casper KOA offer full-service accommodations including cabins, RV hookups, and tent camping areas with amenities like showers, toilets, and picnic tables. The Beartrap Meadow County Park and Lodgepole Campground provide more primitive camping experiences with fewer amenities, typically attracting tent campers seeking natural surroundings south of the city.

Many campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though services may be limited during winter months. The Casper KOA operates seasonally from April 15 to September 30, aligning with peak tourism periods. "This KOA is located in the town of Casper. Sites are plenty long with good full hookups," noted one visitor on The Dyrt. Road access varies considerably, with developed campgrounds offering easy drive-in sites while more remote locations may require higher clearance vehicles. Weather conditions can change rapidly in Wyoming's high plains environment, with strong winds common throughout the year and significant temperature drops possible even in summer.

Campers regularly mention the cleanliness of facilities at established campgrounds near Casper. Reviews indicate Fort Caspar Campground offers quiet tent sites with wildlife viewing opportunities. "We saw turkeys and deer. Tent site area has a conveniently close bathroom," one camper reported. Many campgrounds provide scenic views of the surrounding landscape, though several reviews note that some RV parks lack shade and can feel like "parking lots" rather than natural settings. The Cloud Peak Llama and Alpaca Ranch represents a unique camping experience with only two sites available, providing a more intimate setting. Proximity to highways creates convenient access for travelers passing through the area but contributes to road noise at some locations, particularly those closest to Interstate 25.

    Chalk Bluffs Campground

    Beautiful views of North Platte River

    Rated a 4 star due to the wash board road. Take your time getting to the camp site, once pass the boat ramp the road is much better. Great dry camping parked on spot #3 with 30’ camper. Only a few people here in October taking advantage of this gem.

    Bishops Point Campground

    For desert lovers

    Stopped here for the night and the view is breathtaking.

    Desert lovers would love the mix of mountains and lake.

    Very quiet - no one around besides a few fishermen’s and the canyon near by is a point you don’t want to miss

    Good for one night

    This was a great area to quickly stop overnight, however be very careful and aware of the mud. We got stuck and had to get towed. Saw a great sunrise though!

    Glenrock South Recreation Complex

    Nice and free camping

    Our GPS was able to easily guide us here. Unfortunately it’s raining so we haven’t really explored the area but there is a small playground and it looks like maybe a rodeo set up. Each site has a grill set up which you can see in the picture. There’s also a picnic table and there is water available although there’s not a hook up at each site. There’s also a disc golf course set up. It is right next to the interstate so there is interstate noise but it’s not all that bad. Especially since it’s free. There’s lots of nice shade and some areas of sunshine also. The campground seems to be well kept up. Although we have a small rig After we got here, we saw someone with the large rig with a toad. It is now morning and both of us agreed the traffic was not a bother last night at all. There are people that bring their dogs out here to walk them off lead. And the trash cans were full. We would definitely stay here again.

    Drive out here and the land seems to have become private property and is no longer able to be driven. We had to go ways past it to find somewhere to camp.
