A fine place to camp
Stayed here 2024/09/11. Easy access, well marked and well separated dispersed campsites. Good views. Only downside was distant traffic noise from I-80. Would stay here again.

Weekday stay summer
Semi-dispersed. My site GP153 is not level. Need level blocks! Entrance right to the lake for water sports. Easy hiking trial to loop the lake at your campsite. Fire ring was allowed even with high fire warning and fire bans south in CO.

Summer stay
We stayed at site 7, big enough for our caravan of 3 campers. Very spacious! Great views and nice center fire pit!

Easy Access, great site
We were driving through the area and needed a quick/easy place to camp for the night. Even in mid-July, we were the only people there. Spots are labeled well, with great fire pits at every sight. Rock formations were awesome. We nestled behind a rock and couldn’t even hear the traffic by nearby road. Definitely planning another trip soon

Spent a night here with my dog. Very cool rock formations along the road , very big spots, very peaceful and secluded from neighbors, open and beautiful. Will be staying again on my way through.

Beautiful campground
Absolutely awesome campground. Beautiful stars at night. Be careful of your ways or GPS sending you in a different direction

Vedauwoo Wagon Road
LOVED it here!
We stayed in two different spots. The first one was nice but the second one was so spacious and had so many trees and was far from the road so traffic didn’t sound too bad. Had many fires in the available fire rings. The place is busy during the weekend but dead during the week, especially when it started to cool down. The pictures will speak for the amazing views!

Peaceful camping by the lake
Unfortunately we only got to stay one night here and I only got a few pictures. We got lucky and we’re able to book one of the last spot available for weeks. This place is always booked and I see why!Very quiet. A beautiful lake view. Ice and fire wood available nearby. Would definitely stay again

Spectacular setting
Fabulous rock formations and peaceful. It's well worth the ridged dirt roads and the drive to find the perfect spot.

Despersed camping with easy access and great trails nearby. Rock climbing also.

Beautiful campground
We only got to stay one night but we enjoyed our stay! We were right next to the lake and watched the super blue moon come up over the lake. The showers are in the downstairs of the visitor center and you have to pay with quarters, there is a change machine $1.25 for the first 7.5 minutes and then you can add more as needed.

Very disappointing
RV site not level at all. Picnic table covered in bird poop, tree branches hanging low our TT barely fit under them. Cow smell was terrible and lots of flies. Would not stay there again.

Great time, even better scenery.
Second time staying here. Tent camping and a rooftop tent. We stayed on the north causeway. We had the peninsula spot which was the best spot in that area. Beautiful lake and wildlife. Wish I had fishing gear with me. The staff keep this park clean. Thank you to them! Will be back.

Buffalo Train
The train to view and feed the Buffalo was really cool. Restaurant was also excellent. Friendly staff!

Curt Gowdy Overall, and Jerre's Haven JH-09
OK, to be fair I've aged into travel trailer camping. My expectations may be skewed by my prior camping experiences. First and foremost, Curt Gowdy is amazing! Drove by Happy Jack road at least 100 times without realizing the gem of Curt Gowdy. Being new to the travel trailer community but an experienced pack camper, I book stays with our trailer that gives a hint of the views you can acquire when pack camping. I choose my site poorly. Nothing wrong with JH-09. In fact, after exploring Gowdy, few sites offer level parking, so be prepared to level up! This being said, look for sites in the North or South causeway loops or sites at Crystal Reservoir, as long as you don't mind dry camping. The lake and the hikes appear to be incredible. I did the Hidden Falls hike via Crow at 7:30 am on a Tuesday in September and was unaccompanied the entire hike, with the exception being a ranger maintaining a pristine trail near the end of the hike. This is rated as moderate, but if you hike at all, it is easy. Four miles total from the site, moderate grades, and incredible scenery. Gowdy is a gem, and it is up to you to make it fit your adventure because the opportunities are boundless.

Full hookups
We were extremely happy to find a site on Labor Day wkend with full hookups. The workers are very helpful. The laundry was excellent & provided an ironing bd & iron on request. Nice campstore for basics. But NO fault of KOA campground but there is a very large feedlot just down the road & if wind is in the wrong direction you will have odor & flies. We are retired dairyfarmers so we were accustomed to it.

Nice place
Roads are gravel & dirt. A little bumpy. We paid $45/night with electric. Overall, it was really nice (and quiet). A lot of sites around us.
Thom P.ScoutTerry Bison Ranch
Kitschy dude ranch
We pulled in during “Frontier Days”. The Dead Heads were playing a concert so it was WILD. The rv spots are pretty close together, but the day after the concert (Tuesday) it cleaned up FAST. There was basically no one here after.
You can pet bison, which is worth it. The rest of the prices are geared towards kids. Sorta run down for the prices you pay.
Definitely a ONE night stay sort of place.
More KOA than Dude Ranch.
Spot 66 was a straight mud pit.
Would recommend a “deluxe” spot.

Lots to do here
RV park has level gravel lots with full hookups. Right off interstate on Exit 2, as you enter WY. Camp store has good supply of drinks, clothes and souvenirs. Cafe was closed but did look good. Ate at Senators Steakhouse and had buffet, including beef prime rib, bison ribs and bison burgers. Wednesday night they had open lic with live music. Bar had good selections of alcohol including some expensive wines. Great service.

Nice State Park Camping Area
We had an enjoyable one night stay at Curt Gowdy State Park. Sites are fairly spread out and are nice with electrical and water. The website said prices from $27.00 but at checkout it actually cost $50.00 for a one night stay. There is no dump station at the park which is kind of a pain. There are a few pay dump station within 10-15 miles. Overall nice place if you don’t mind the $50.00 a night fee.

Impressive
Clean, well-kept campground with full outdoor kitchen, pool and play areas. The staff were extremely kind. One of the best KOA’s we have stayed at. As a couple reviewers have mentioned, there may be a livestock smell depending on the wind direction, but we only noticed it once and it was bothersome.

A tranquil spot to enjoy beautiful Wyoming
Curt Gowdy State Park is a peaceful spot situated between Cheyenne and Laramie. The park features a number of amenities for those looking to enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, and water sports. Trails are abundant as is the wildlife that surrounds much of the park.
Sites are mostly dirt / gravel with a few concrete pads depending on which loop you choose for you stay. We camped on Silver Crown which has no hookups, but was a great spot for capturing plenty of sunlight on our solar panels.
To put it plainly, this is a great spot to boondock. We will be back.

Don't expect to drive in and get a spot.
Super busy, their reservation system is all messed up, camp host can't even tell you if any spot is open so you'll have to drive around using their map. Book ahead if you want to stay here. Looked like a nice lake, posted all over that there is no swimming at all.

Weekend get a way
Easy drive from Loveland Colorado. The check In was very easy and the trails are right outside of the camp grounds. The park does have hook ups for water and power.

We stayed on our way to the northwest. It was a welcome sight to have a level site with full hook-ups.

Open Year Around
Great friendly service at check in. Since we were here late in October, there were plenty of sites available - gravel, but we’ll maintain and very level. The one drawback was the staff had three overnight visitors and they placed us right next to each other. Rather crowded and we realized how narrow the sites were.
