About
State Park
Guernsey State Park Campground, nestled near Hartville, WY, offers a solid camping experience with a mix of tent, RV, cabin, glamping, and yurt accommodations. This place is open year-round, so you can enjoy it no matter the season. The park wraps around a reservoir, providing some stunning views and a chance to get out on the water.
The campground has a few standout features. For one, pets are welcome, so you don't have to leave your furry friends behind. There are also electric hookups available, though keep in mind that the sites with electricity might lack shade. If you prefer a cooler spot, aim for the sites by the water, which offer more shade but no electric hookups.
Visitors have noted the cleanliness of the lake and the scenic rock formations around the reservoir. The park is quite large, so there's plenty of space to spread out and find a bit of solitude. However, be prepared for some elevation changes and switchbacks if you're hauling a big rig.
For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the park has some cool hiking and biking trails, though they might be a bit tricky to find due to overgrowth. The yurts are a popular choice, especially during the silt run in mid-July, when the reservoir's water level drops, creating a muddy but fun environment for kayaking.
One thing to keep in mind is the lack of cell phone service within the campground. If you need to make a call, you'll have to drive about a quarter-mile out. Also, the shower facilities can be hit or miss, so it's a good idea to call ahead and check if they're open.
Overall, Guernsey State Park Campground is a great spot for those looking to enjoy some beautiful scenery, a bit of history, and a variety of outdoor activities. Just be prepared for a few quirks and you'll have a fantastic time.
