Within Cheyenne State Recreation Area, this state-managed campground sits alongside a small lake with full hookups for RVs. The $30 sites include electric, water, and sewer connections, making it a convenient stop for travelers on I-80. Interstate traffic is audible from the camping area, as one reviewer noted during a Labor Day weekend visit when the campground had minimal occupancy.
The lake allows fishing and non-motorized boating, though the facility maintains a basic, no-frills atmosphere. Campers can find campgrounds near Alda for additional options in the region. Reservations are available for those planning ahead.
Description
2025 - the park is adding 21 designate camp pads with electric.
Cheyenne SRA does not offer designated campsites, but campers can pitch tents in the mowed areas around the lake and set up their RVs in parking areas. All camping is first-come, first-served for those who register in the self-service box (cash or check only) at the entrance.
