13 Reviews•45 Photos•22 SavesDeer and antelope still play near the Casper KOA Campground and RV Park. More than 75 percent of the world's pronghorn antelope live within a 90-mile radius of Wyoming's second-largest city. In many places, the Plains look unchanged from the days when the Oregon, California, Mormon, Bridger, Bozeman and Pony Express trails converged here along the North Platte River. Trail ruts are still visible. Visit the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center or browse pioneer exhibits at the Fort Caspar Museum and Historic Site. The campground is located in the town of Bar Nunn, five miles north of downtown Casper. At an elevation of 5,284 feet, the campground overlooks the City of Casper and commands an excellent view of the city and Casper Mountain to the south. Public tennis and basketball courts and a baseball diamond are located across the street, and golfers can choose from two public courses, one of which was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Or just relax in the big covered pool at the Casper KOA (Memorial Day to Labor Day). The whole family can make itself at home here with mini golf, a playground and a pet walk. Casper KOA is the only onsite owner operated full service campground in the area. We offer free restrooms with hot showers, a 24 hour coin op laundry and a convenience store and gift shop. And we welcome long-term campers all year round. Please join us on your next trip through Wyoming!

Today, it provides a unique lodging experience and delightful spot for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in south central Wyoming.The guard station is open from early June through late September each year and is accessible by car. Weather and road closures may impact opening and closure dates. Many modern conveniences are provided, but guests will need to bring a few of their own supplies to make their stay comfortable. The site now has propane lighting. Please note that due to the historic nature of the facility, candles or other flame producing items are not permitted in the cabin.

Ok for a night
The 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.

Great Location! Attentive staff
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.
Staff was very helpful. Park was clean, sites were well maintained.

Great retreat from the winds
Very friendly staff (thanks Lois!), Clean and quiet RV park! After-hours sites available in the winter.

Very Very Nice Restrooms and Showers
Alongside a creek outside of Casper, sits this very quaint RV park. Open all year, a great rest stop to get out of windy conditions if I-25 is closed. Trees at most campsites. Was really impressed with how clean the restrooms and showers were.

Standard KOA amenities
We needed a quick overnight spot to hookup. It was where we needed to stop and we got through the night and showered and left.

Nice spot for RV near river
This was a halfway spot between Black Hills SD and Yellowstone. Very nice clean place, enough space around RV’s, there are trees, and it’s off the main highway. Good t-mobile service.

Ben P.ScoutRiver’s Edge RV and Cabin Resort
Amazing Stop!!
Beautiful sites right on the river. We were in site 87 for just one night. Most sites have full hookups, ours had all but sewer. They have a dump station though.
Each site has a turf area with clean and maintained patio furniture.
Clean showers/bathrooms. Riverside is mowed down low, big grass fields. Bring mosquito spray though!

Wonderful river campground
I reserved the campsite on a whim. If you have RV great, if you have SUV and RTT the have riverside site that are excellent. You have to see it to believe it. Some highway noise, but not bad.
Olson H.GuideCasper KOA
Our first KOA
Excellent service from the staff! A clean, refreshing indoor pool! Laundry was $1.50 per wash, and per dry! The cheapest laundry we have seen so far since Vermont (our laundry cycle = weekly/bi-weekly). Great facilities and a cute camp store’

River’s Edge RV and Cabin Resort
Good for a stopover
This was a great spot for a one night stay; if we fished, it would be even better for a longer stay.
Pros: incredibly nice and accommodating staff, very clean, great seating on RV spots, lots of seating next to the river and by playground, good playground, extra toys for kids near playground
Cons: not a lot of space between RV spots, all gravel (but they laid down about 10’ of astroturf on each RV spot), river is more for fishing than anything else

A good place to stop for the night
This campground is Located in Barr Nun area outside of Casper. It is all gravel and campsites are very close together. They have a shop in the office area. Along side the office is a little putt-putt golf course-fun fun. There is a propane fill station along with an indoor pool in this area too. There are 2 small dog areas which are also gravel except a small strip of turf at the end. We were in the Rv section with water and electric, our site had a picnic table but no fire pits. They also had areas for tents either on platforms or under shelters. Bathrooms are clean, attractive and handicap accessible. There are really cute cabins here also. This KOA served its purpose as a overnight stop.

Clean and safe
I was in a bind and needed a place to stay for the night. They squeezed me so I had a safe comfortable place to sleep. Not the prettiest location but convenient and on the River.

Remote cabin all to your group
We didn’t stay here but it sounds pretty amazing. Reservations are needed and for $80 per night you get the whole place. The drive is pretty stunning and you find yourself in the middle of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Two blocks down the road is Campbell Creek Campground. We chose to stay there. It is only $10 per night and we didn’t have reservations. By the look of the place, and from talking to other campers, La Prele Guard Station sounds like a great place to camp if you have a group looking for a confirmed place all together.
Camp consists of a few buildings and a very spacious groomed area. It’s fenced off by a simple log fence. The style reminds me of lodges I’ve seen in documentaries about the National Parks.

Nice RV Park
Nice campground near Casper, WY. We just stayed for one night and they were able to accommodate us arriving late with us calling ahead. There is a grassy area by the river that is nice to walk your dog. Shower and bathroom area was clean. There is a little playground for kids.
The only cons was it is close to the train which was a noisy when it came by, but didn’t prevent us from sleeping. Full hook ups, pet friendly.

Awful
if you enjoy sleeping on rocks, and lots of truck noise from an interstate stay here. Tent lots are right next to the road with no shade

River’s Edge RV and Cabin Resort
An oasis in the desert
Let me start by explaining that 3-stars is usually the highest an RV Park will get from me. I am tempted to give it 4, but some pretty great places have a 4 from me (like Yellowstone). I believe that rating everything high, kind of causes the system of starring to lose perspective. 1 Star=Never Again, 3 is average, and 5 Stars=I don’t ever want to leave. As much as I car camp for convenience, I prefer more remote spaces, which is not an RV Park (so there is my bias). 3 is an average rating and this is a really nice spot—but being in the middle of not-much in South Eastern Wyoming, it’s hard to be totally wowed. Additionally, we camped here during the total eclipse of 2017. As a result, the Park was at maximum capacity, and I believe, expanding. The owners are super hospitable. Even with the event in progress, they did choose to charge more to camp rather than overcrowd the campers (much appreciated and very honest). There is an excellent game room. The showers are very clean. There is laundry and a small play area. The RV sites are the typical pull through RV Park sites, and not spacious. The campground, like much of Wyoming is flat, sunny, and with a gravel “yard” that replaced the tall, golden yellow grasses that stretch across these dry plains.
We camped in a tent. The owners had created new tent sites that were directly on the North Platte River. These tent sites, and the staff friendliness are earning the 3 stars. There were trees for shade and a nice breeze coming over the water. There was a good deal more privacy than the RV sites. My understanding was that these were intended to remain as permanent tent sites even after the eclipse. There are no hook-ups at all for the tent sites, and campers cannot back into their camp for convenient grabbing of stuff—a very short walk is required (but far enough to notice the distance). In some ways, this distance from the car, and the line of trees made the campsite feel a little more remote and like resting at an oasis in the desert.
