The campground is large and open. It's arranged so that there are limited wet/energized spots, with the rest of the ground catering to tents and dry camping. In the center of the property, there is a "community" kitchen. There's also a laundry room with a heated shower for campers to use. The site has hammocks, horseshoes, Cornhole and plenty of space to fish and relax.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
ScoutMemory Bridge has a little bit of everything! My family of 5 loved everything it had to offer! We floated the river and docked right at the site, the kids loved the relaxing hammock park(at night there is twinkling lights in the trees), bonfires, community “kitchen” , there was a band during 4th of July! We’ll be going back!

Stayed at one of their tent sites, so can’t provide a review for their RV sites. Convenient to town and amenities. Staff was courteous and welcoming. Each tent site was partitioned with a split rail fence. You can park your vehicle parallel to your site. All sites have a fire ring, a picnic table, a platform for striking your tent, and an elevated box to store things in to keep the local raccoon population at bay. We didn’t see any, but we had our dogs with us. We did, however, see turkeys and deer. Tent site area has a conveniently close bathroom (was winterized during our stay), but you can drive to the main one located within the shower house if you want (also it is a very short walk). The shower house was well kept, and clean. We were extremely pleased with the tent site we were assigned, with the staff, and the facility in general. Should we come this way again, we will definitely stay here.

In a word , the animal interactions were great as you walked among them. Dewayne was supper friendly and definitely from the cloth of a rancher we did not get to meet his wife.
TravelerLooking back at the photos I have from that morning, I still believe we couldn't have found a better place to stay to start our journey!
ScoutWe were not able to make our reservation due to a flat tire 30 miles from the destination. Left a message around 5 pm that we would be late. Then provided an update around 8 pm when we found out roadside assistance would not be available until the next morning. Without requesting, I was told my fee for the night would be refunded. Thought that was good customer service. i was not expecting a refund.

When our tire warning light came on, around 5 PM and 30 miles from our intended destination of Casper WI, we pulled off at the Alcove exit as the Sinclare gas station to see what was going on. A rupture of the front driver's inboard sidewall was the cause of our tire warning light. A call to the roadside assistance service our RV rental company told us to use, proved to not be able to send a response vehicle until the next day. Fortunately, Windy Waters at Eagle Creek was just across the street from the service station. Julie was very helpful when we called Windy Waters. She was able to get us a spot for the night while we waited for the roadside assistance the next morning. Sites are nothing fancy but have all the hookups and plenty of space for vehicles much bigger than the 26' RV we were renting. Side note: next morning at 7:30 am received a call that no response vendor had been found. So we pressed up the 30 psi tire to 74 psi at the service station and made the 30 mile 30 min drive to Casper watching the steady drop to 42 psi on the trip. If you need tire work in Casper, A-1 Tire worked great for us, like an Indy 500 pit crew they had our spare on in under 15 minutes. And it turns out Outlaw Mobile RV Repair did have a tech contact us while driving to Casper indicating he was ready to respond to the Alcove location.

Stayed 2 nights. Sites for all sizes of rigs. Parks clean and well maintained. Laundry facilities very clean. Staff friendly and helpful

Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water! This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms. Amazing fishing and floating opportunities. Make sure to get all of your shopping needs before heading out, because the closest marina for restocking is about 40 minutes away. There is no cell phone reception. But it's all 100% worth it if fishing is your thing... you'll soon learn why it's called The Miracle Mile.
RangerFriendly staff. Clean bathrooms and showers. Indoor swimming pool and put put golf. Sites are level gravel and about half are shaded.
Scout
Followed google to the spot where it wanted me to turn off on a dirt path with a locked gate. So i passed and drove 2 hours to riverton and stayed at the casino for free
Guide
One mile of gravel road to the campground. All sites are gravel, mostly level. We had a site right on the point. Beautiful views of the lake and the Seminole mountains. The other side of the campground has a shallow bay with sand, sort of. It is great for kids to swim but bring shade. One day, we had no wind until dinner time. Another day, we had wind all day. Not good for awnings or if you don't secure your tent down. Spotty T-mobile service. But usable. You must make reservations online. The kiosk is for day use payments only.

Nice little campground. Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00.
ScoutAmazing hosts. The animals were so fun to get to know and we loved touring the farm with the hosts. We arrived very late at night and they came out to greet us. I thought we would have electric hook up as part of the site, but that’s not available. I mentioned that to the host and in the morning they had run an electric cord out to our trailer, which we didn’t end up needing. The views are also spectacular of the Casper landscape. I highly recommend this as a unique camping experience!
Scout
Quiet, not many people this late in the season. Just a little off the path. Very peaceful listening to the river current trickling by. Highly recommend. 
TravelerWaking up among alpacas, lamas, donkeys and an incredible horse with an amazing sunrise (and probably sunset but we missed that).
Owners made time to show us around the animals in the morning and gave us some much needed coffee.
Highly recommended

Deer Haven is a rustic haven for campers, boasting 11 reservable campsites and a single restroom. It's worth noting that water and utilities aren't accessible at this campground.
The campsites are delightfully primitive, aligning with a check-in time of 3:00 pm and a check-out time of 11:00 am. During the hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am, a peaceful atmosphere is maintained for a restful night's sleep.
What makes Deer Haven stand out for me, personally, is its remarkable seclusion. They’re sites that are nestled away from the main road, it's enveloped in a serene setting with ample tree coverage. This campground has earned its place as my favorite in the area, offering a tranquil escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.
Legend
The office building has convenient amenities, boasting well-maintained men's and women's bathroom/shower rooms, as well as a set of 4 washers and 4 dryers- all of which made my stay even more comfortable. The camper hook ups were a breeze, with flawless water, electric, and sewage connections.
I especially appreciated the concrete slab next to my camper, perfect for grilling, playing bag toss, or simply relaxing in chairs. The location couldn't have been better- nestled right by the city park, I felt the location was perfect.
Being close to Deer Creek added a touch of nature to the experience. I noticed ongoing improvements, such as the replacement of gravel sites and the addition of new cement slabs, truly showing a commitment to enhancing the RV park. The presence of shade trees was nice, and the adjacent city park, complete with a dog park, was a fantastic bonus.

Nestled 25-30 minutes north of Casper, this campground boasts a remote and picturesque charm that sets it apart from its counterparts closer to town. If I were to weigh the options between Bear Trap Campground and Deer Haven Campground against this location, the first two would definitely clinch my preference.
This campground's proximity to the highway may be too close for for some. I can only imagine the potential sleep disruption for tent-dwellers as the night unfolds with the hum of traffic nearby but it’s still nothing compared to what you’d hear in town.
Considering the altitude, a word of advice: anticipate a slight chill in the air, particularly as the season's edges draw near. A little preparation on the clothing front can prevent any unexpected shivers from overshadowing your camping experience. So, pack accordingly if you don't want chilly surprises!
There's an angler's paradise awaiting in nearby reservoirs– fantastic fishing opportunities. Many great outdoor activities in this area! So, all in all, while this campground might not clinch the gold medal, it's still worth considering and still may be quieter than options in Casper.
GuideThe staff is amazing. The store is adorable. The sites are spacious.
The road noise is definitely audible.
There’s a cool restaurant just behind the park called The Hangar. Great atmosphere and good food. This worked for us for one night, and you’ll likely see antelope on your way in.

The showers were both clean and pleasantly warm. The overall decor felt a bit outdated but still satisfactory. While there was some noticeable road noise, it didn't reach unbearable levels. The lodging area is situated on a gravel lot, lacking picturesque views. However, if you're seeking a one-night stopover, it serves its purpose well. Furthermore, considering its affiliation with KOA, the pricing remains budget-friendly.

I liked the little dog park and river access.
I mostly didn’t like everything else… from what I’ve been gathering, they put their long-term stays in worse sites which seems strange? RV sites are extremely small. Whoever was in charge of the website's marketing did a bang-up job, because let me tell you, the reality is a far cry from those picture-perfect images.
This campground, is nothing more than a flat, uninspiring patch of land that will transform into a mud pit at the first sight of rain. Shade? Forget about it. You'd be luckier finding a needle in a haystack than a sliver of shade here. And good luck tracking down any staff – it's like they've perfected the art of hide and seek. The office "closed" sign is practically a permanent fixture. So, if you're in the middle of a long-term stay and something goes awry– you're pretty much on your own.

Located by the scenic Patherfinder Reservoir, the natural beauty of the surroundings is truly captivating, offering a peaceful escape from the busy routine of everyday life. However, like any beautiful place, there are a few important things to remember.
The weather can be a bit unpredictable at times, with occasional cold spells and gusts of wind passing through the area. While this might mean wearing some extra layers, the stunning views and calming natural sounds more than make up for it. I experienced a rainstorm during my visit, and it's important to note that in certain areas, navigating the aftermath might be a bit challenging.
Something to keep in mind is that this spot requires a bit of a break from technology. The lack of a cellular signal might seem a little daunting initially, but believe me, it's actually a good thing. Overall, this campground on Patherfinder Reservoir is a pleasant retreat for those who want to find comfort in the embrace of nature. Despite the small challenges that come with any outdoor adventure, the overall experience is truly refreshing. Whether you're an enthusiastic camper or just want to get away for a weekend, this hidden treasure is definitely worth a visit.

Situated a serene 25-30 minute drive from Casper, nestled amidst the beauty of a mountain adorned with picturesque switchbacks, this campground offers a unique sense of seclusion not often found in locations closer to town.
Beartrap stands out because it is one of the few campgrounds in the Casper region that is more secluded and has a great mountain feel. As with any popular site, celebratory gatherings are not uncommon. For a more tranquil experience, I recommend considering a midweek visit during the delightful seasons of Spring and Fall, steering clear of the busier summer period.
A notable aspect of this campground is its consistently well-maintained restroom facilities, reflecting a dedication to cleanliness and visitor satisfaction. The diverse array of sites caters perfectly to all kinds of camping preferences, whether it's the convenience of pull trailers and RVs or the more adventurous tent-campers. The expanse of the grounds also offers ample space for families with children and four-legged companions to play.

Neat location with direct access to a park like area along the North Platte River. I took the dogs for a swim on a hot August afternoon.
