"The pit toilets are on the other side of the campground from site 1, it's about a two minute walk. They were clean and usable. There is a dumpster by the bathrooms."
"Just a little off the path. Very peaceful listening to the river current trickling by. Highly recommend. "
"A nice area surrounding a cove off of Alcova. Can sometimes be busy with people putting boats in or other campers. Some spots allow you to hear everything in the surrounding spots."
"Wasn’t sure how our fall weekend would turn out since Alcova is known for the summer time fun, but our weekend did not disappoint."
"Fun beautiful lake with room for bigger RV’s. No hook-ups but they do have your typical state park restrooms. No sandy beaches here, it’s hard rock all the way up to the waters edge."
"All camp places nearby were overcrowded and this place was so nice."
$12 / night
"Great spot on Alcova Reservoir about 30 miles south of Casper, WY"
"Kids enjoyed hiking Dinosaur Trail and exploring. Lots if fishing spots. Very scenic. $10 a night, pay kiosk."
"We enjoyed staying here as it was a change of pace from the rolling hills of southwestern Wyoming. The reservoir that the N Platte leads into is actually Pathfinder Reservoir and not Alcova. "
"Camped on a pull off on Fremont Canyon road near a climb we wanted to do the next morning."
"Sitting right next to the Platte river. This allows great access to early morning and early evening fishing. Only downside is the mosquitos are pretty heavy there in July and August."
"The grassy area next to the river with shade of cottonwoods and tables is to die for."
$50 - $60 / night
"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. "
$12 / night
"So beautiful next to the lake and you can rent kayaks or paddle boards (and other things!) from Alcova resort. My friends and I had fun kayaking and jumping into the lake afterwards."
"Great location for us to fly fish several nearby places. Great tables and fire rings and even covered wood patios for most tables. Less than 10 spots but only 3 occupied when we were there."
"Great for RV camping it even has a boat launch nearby and toilets"
ScoutA GREAT campground, but extremely popular. Reservations only, and a less than great BLM website. You must have an account to reserve. $15 per night, no hookups
RangerI stayed here for 4 nights while waiting on a package to arrive in Casper. I really enjoyed my stay. It has the vibes of a paid campground - only free. When you get to the complex drive past the vault toilets and initial picnic area. You'll see 5-6 campsites with concrete beds, picnic tables and grills. There is some road noise, but worth it for a convenient location. There is a 5 day limit. I'd definitely return.

ScoutWe booked based on online review photo. Most campers are local residents. We did not feel safe to stay there. Requested refund same day as arrival and was declined by manager. Go somewhere - plenty of safer options there
TravelerThis place was behind a locked gate. The road beyond was deeply rutted. Not accessable.
RangerThis is an awesome place to stay if you like to have very panoramic views pretty much all the way around you. Verizon is 1 to 2 bars pretty regular. The river is a long ways down, so I did not mark this as being a fishing place. Don’t get too close to the edge if you are afraid of heights. Pack it in and pack it out. There are no services.
RangerI stayed here in late September and it was pretty busy, most or all of the sites were taken. I stayed in site 1, which I think is the most level. I was able to get perfectly level without any blocks. The pit toilets are on the other side of the campground from site 1, it's about a two minute walk. They were clean and usable. There is a dumpster by the bathrooms.
It's very dry here, not much green. There are a lot of flies and other bugs but none of them bit me. The river is beautiful but it is a ways down from the campsites. It's kind of a rough path to get down close to it. Several fisherman were doing it though.
I don't think there are any rules about generators, I noticed one camper seemed to be running theirs almost 24 hours a day.
The picnic tables and fire rings are in great shape. Each picnic table has a shade shelter over it.
I had great speeds from AT&T and Verizon here. My T-mobile device roamed onto AT&T and had a great signal but was slow.
There is another campground closer to the main road called Gray Reef Reservoir, I checked that one out too and it is very similar. But I prefer this one (Pete's Draw), mainly due to the site layout.
This is a great campground for an overnight, but you probably wouldn't stay longer unless you love to fish.
ScoutThe 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!
GuideStayed 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.
