Best RV Parks & Resorts near Buford, WY

We visited Curt Gowdy when multiple fires were burning nearby, so all our pictures are tainted with smoke. This facility offers campers two lakes and several different types of sites. Some are full hook-up and others are no hook-up. We had the latter, but were so happy with our spot. The park is primarily composed of dirt roads. There are so many different types of sites, from those with several trees, lake side, open, or group spots. Water is available for filling bottles, but not campers. No dump stations are open here, but Wyoming has dump stations at its rest stops along the interstates/highways for free. Cell service is unavailable away from the beautiful visitors center. Our campsite sat by itself, on a ridge next to the furthest away lake. It was beautiful and a worn trail at the campsite ended at the water's edge where we could store our kayak in the trees for the weekend. A small beach allowed for chairs to be set up at this spot as well. The lake offers fishing and kayaking. The real draw, though, is the IMBA mountain biking trail system that weaves throughout the park. The trails are well-marked and maps are easy to follow. Hiking is abundant as well. This park sits near Medicine Bow National Forest and has similar typography with awesome rocks, evergreens, aspen and creeks. Hiking is a pleasure in this environment. Our campsite was pull-through with a fire pit and table. There was a fire ban (for obvious reasons) during our September visit.

A truly enjoyable long term RV park with Airbnb cabins for family/friends to visit! The park is on Inlet Bay side of Horsetooth Rez, right up the road from the marina. lot's of accessibility to easy going paddle boarding/kayaking or paddle out and enjoy the wake of the boats for a little more challenge! Beautiful scenery from wildlife walking through the park and enjoying the sunset/sunrise on the rez! No need to fight for parking as you're already front and center of all the rez action! Cutest store on site that is well stocked and priced! I appreciated the assistance with having propane delivered to my RV by management and the upkeep of the park during winter/summer months. Very cost effective with easy access to pay online. Definitely one of the nicest and well managed RV long term parks I've been to!  Very family oriented, yet quiet and respectful! I highly recommend Horsetooth RV park & store!

We stayed at Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney for 6 nights while we worked remotely and needed a stable spot for the week. The park was very straightforward all sites were pull-through, which made setup and departure easy.There was a decent amount of space to walk our dog around the perimeter of the park, and while there's a small off-leash dog run, we appreciated the multiple poop bag stations throughout. We were able to receive a couple of Amazon deliveries without issue, which was a big plus.We didnt really interact much with the staff, so cant speak to that part. The showers were a bit tight but were clean and heated a nice touch. Theres also a gas station just down the road for any quick essentials.Overall, it was a solid and easy stay. Nothing fancy, but also nothing to complain about. We'd stay again if we pass through Cheyenne.

Like to come here to The beaches off of the campground. Public Beach is nice with shaded outdoor tables and small food vender small store and SUP rentals. They close EARLY in the day so be prepared. I think 4:30 or 5:00pm. Easy access Dump Station with fresh water fill located along all the campground loops and marked on map. All asphalt driveway pull through sites with larger gravel set up areas. Picnic tables and fire pit. Multiple Clean flushing toilets bathrooms and nice coin showers. Shade trees mixed around and large common areas in between the loops for your games. Playground and horse shoes. Beach Area access off of the campground loops walking path. Sand is soft and finer consistency. Bring a wagon to haul shade items, inflatables and chairs. Can be a walk depending on water level. Call ranger station to verify the water levels. Patrolled well by CPW Rangers.

General: Many different options: tent sites (with or without hookups), back-in 50/30 amps FHU (with or without patio), Pull-thru 50/30 amps (options include patio and/or hot tub), camping cabins and deluxe cabins. 

Site Quality: All sites are level and have a concrete pad. Although the sites are close together with no privacy between them, there is some separation with a grass strip.

Bath/Shower: Code to enter and clean with soap and paper towels. 

Activities: So many options. My favorite was the half-mile fitness trail that circles the lake. Other activities include mini golf, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, bike rentals, a fishing pier, a pool, and a nicely appointed playground. 

Other amenities include a library, laundry, train depot, paddle boats, and a small store. 

While this is not our preferred type of camping, it suited our needs for a night en route home, and I loved the gravel fitness trail. It was not high season yet so some things such as the pool and paddle boats were not available, and the campground was not full so it was quieter than it would be on a summer weekend.

As you enter Cheyenne there are plenty of signs directing you to Curt Gowdy State Park. Our GPS agreed with the park instructions to take us out of Cheyenne on I-25 then onto Happy Jack Rd, which leads you up the mountain to the State Park. The signage was less plentiful as we turned left and passed under the big Curt Gowdy State Park sign over the road. We followed the road up to the visitors’ center and registered then proceeded as told down to Tumbleweed pull-through site 24, which was water and electric. As we got into the Tumbleweed area, we realized our door would be facing the road and the utilities by pulling in that direction. So we decided to pull in the opposite direction, which we had to go back up and make a tighter right turn to get us back on the road to put us into the pull-through with utilities on the driver’s side. We were then able to pull into site T24 with no issues. This gravel site is at a bit of a downhill angle, but we were able to auto-level. The pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel and F450. The water and electric(50 and 30 AMP) were more toward the back of this pad, but we had no problem reaching to hookups. The water pressure was around 40 psi. We got 1 bar on Verizon, but there was a clear shot either north or south for satellite. In our case, north for Starlink. We had a cement pad with a concrete picnic table plus a nice-sized fire pit off to the side. We were not too far from the reservoir with a nice lake view from the right/door side of the site. We were here in the middle of the week and the park and campground were about 3/4 full, but by Thursday the CG was filling up and the reservoir much busier with boats and jet skis. We enjoyed our stay here to include some pretty good shore fishing for trout.
