"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"
"Dogs ok but have to be leashed. 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."
$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."
"The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!"
"primitive camping with all the benefits of lake camping!"
"This 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."
$30 / night
"Llamas, goats, miniature donkeys and the friendliest dogs. The sunrise and sunset is breathe taking. There is an outhouse for a restroom, which we needed bc we car camped."
"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. "

LegendThe 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.

LegendWe were using this campground as just a stop on the way to Grand Teton. It was convenient off the highway. Close together, but it's an RV park after all ...it was super clean, owner was super nice and very organized....provided with a list of rules and there are a bunch of signs.
We were able to do laundry here and it has a dog park area with dog poop balls and a ball and tug of war toys. My dog loved this!!!
Platte river was at the back of the campground and you can go down and hang out. Mosquitoes bad at night though down by the river! We had a good experience for a quick stop. $53 for full hookup etc. It's the only thing they had other than non electric, as we booked same day.
GuideNice 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.
LegendI 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.

LegendWe 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. I think Alcova is the reservoir that lies further upstream closer to Lander. Regardless of the name of the reservoir it was an absolutely gorgeous place to watch the sun rise and set as it lit up Fremont Canyon at both times! Nearby there are plenty opportunities for boating and fishing, including about 20 m below the camp spots were dozens of fish swimming that we could see from above! A little bit to the east there are also a decent amount of trad climbs that you can hike to the bottom of in low water or rap down to in case there is high water.
Now about the campground itself. This was a completely primitive campsite/campground as all the spots were pull-offs on the south side of the road (N side is private, don't camp there!) The only preexisting things at the campsites were stone fire rings and semi level dirt areas to toss up a tent. While this is definitely not a place for glampers or RVers, if you have a tent or are car camping it is one of the best spots in the area!
LegendFee box at the entrance with instructions. Buffaloberry features four overnight sites with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings, a vault toilet. Stayed at site#1 which was on the river, the other sites are a bit smaller with river views but along the loop road. The river is beautiful. Not much shade and the sun can be hot.
The 4-mile road in is bumpy. Cell coverage for verizon was okay. Pets are welcome.
