Best Campgrounds near Cheyenne, WY

611 Reviews

Campers heading out from Cheyenne, Wyoming have several solid camping choices within a short drive. Curt Gowdy State Park Campground draws many people with its good trails and fishing lakes. The rock formations at Vedauwoo Campground make it popular with climbers and anyone who likes unusual landscapes. Last Chance Camp sits closer to the city, which works well when you need to grab supplies or don't want to travel far. Watch for pronghorn and mule deer throughout the area – keep your food secured so you don't attract them to your campsite. Most roads to these campgrounds stay in good shape, though winter weather can make travel tricky. Some of the more remote spots require vehicles with higher clearance. Before heading out, it's smart to look up current rules and pack for Wyoming's quick-changing weather patterns.

    Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney

    Nice clean campground

    Really liked this campground. Had all the amenities needed. Very, very clean. The only 2 negatives are, you are between hwy 25 and train tracks and there are no fire pits for the RV section. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

    Last Chance Camp, Cheyenne

    Quick, easy, and beautiful

    I was coming in late and only staying the night before hitting the road again in the morn. I called ahead and she gave me a quick rundown—find an empty space with a picnic table and I’m good to go. It was so simple! Also owners have a very sweet black and white pup that comes around to say good morning. Might’ve been the best part, aside from the Wyoming sunrise.

    Forest Service Road 700 Designated Dispersed Camping

    Amazing First Time in WY!

    Coming from CO, I was able to cross off another US state in only a 2 hour drive. This spot is great for groups! I was by myself and it’s early October so I figured I could get a spot at 4pm on Friday. Plenty were available, road goes forever with (I heard over 90+ dispersed spots) and easily accessible for RVs and trailers, just gotta go slow, not rocky just washboardy in spots. Many sweet rock formations, a little creek for water for the fire, and plenty of dead wood (just make sure u get a permit online I think if u wana take any home right?) - I cleaned up a good amount of small trash left in my area from previous campers like nails and glass, but other than a couple things it was very clean and every spot looked like it was respected!! (Just things I think got blown into the rocks at night and campers didn’t see it the next morning) - would go back, every spot is far from others and the rocks def help with the wind and noise. Far from highway but right off it so it’s easy to get to road if needed. One gas station about 15 mins down the road between Cheyenne. Pack in and pack out! Will be going back one day!

    Curt Gowdy State Park Campground

    10/10 State Park camping

    We loved this place so much we stayed two extra nights! The sites themselves are level and nice, no campground shower facilities but beautiful and well maintained quarter operated showers at the visitor center. The trails are beautiful, fun and abundant. We couldn't have had a better time hiking and wildlife watching.
