Best Glamping near Elk Mountain, WY

Beautiful area of Wyoming. The campground is clean and remote, but busy. There was a lot of beetle kill removal work going on when I was there, but I think that has slowed down some.  Nice trails close by and the lake is lovely.

Wonderful gem of a camping area, be aware, snow may persist into July and only altitude acclimatized individuals should sleep here. It is over 10,000 feet, 3100m. Nice views of ponds and mountains from several sites, may or may not have water.

Small site with incredible scenery and stargazing. As if the views weren’t enough, all of the campsites (to my knowledge) are very close to the water. We enjoyed kayaking around the lake and hiking nearby on the CDT. There are vault toilets but not much else...perfect!

This is a really big gravel lot with zero shade, zero privacy, and highway noise. Prices vary depending on what kind of site you choose. We stayed only 1 night so chose a site without any hookups due to a lower price. We got 2 sites and parked so that our doors opened towards each other. The bathrooms were nice and showers clean. They also have a wonderful coin laundry room, a mini golf putting course and kids playground. I personally couldn't stay here for more than a few nights but if you're in need of a night's rest, a hot shower and place to do laundry it's great.

and sometimes that is all you need.

This is a gravel lot behind a hotel near a freeway near a train and refinery. After hours registration was available - the usual form and money in an envelope and dropbox deal. Got a small discount for AAA. $29 for an electric only spot. I was able to use credit card for the fee by writing my number on the form. They emailed me a receipt by request in the morning which was nice. It had details on the wifi password and bathroom codes even tho the bathrooms were not locked when we rolled in at midnight (thank god).

On the friday night we rolled in the place seemed really full - most of the full hookup + cable spots seemed taken but luckily there were a handful of the electric only spots which are directly behind the registration office.

Bathrooms and showers are very clean. You can hear the freeway and smell the refinery somewhat. It was rather cool at night with a slight breeze and in the morning / afternoon it got hot and windy.

I would stay here again.

This a great campground for RVers or tenters going on the east-west or north-south routes through Rawlins. The campground seemed best for one or two night stays or for longer-term stays for people working in the area. The sites are untreed drive thru sites. The area is open so it can be windy. It is close to I-80 and the major north-south routes. There is a playground for kids, a doggie area and a miniature golf course. The restrooms and public area were immaculate. This campground is very near the Red Desert Rose campground and very similar in layout and amenities.

The person at the front desk was helpful - providing information about nearby walks. She didn't have any guest maps so her description of how to get to the walking path was a little hard to follow for a non-local. I would stay at this campground again.

We were on a cross country road trip tent camping along the way. On the way home we needed to be quick so we picked sites right off 80. This was seriously such a nice spot. It was organized and felt safe. The sites for tent campers were BEAUTIFUL! the grass was so plush and green it was the perfect tent spot. You weren’t next to anybody else and were removed a bit from the RV’s. I can’t rave enough about the bathrooms!! They were immaculately clean and fresh. It feels like you’re in a day spa in there. The shower experience was LOVELY after a long day traveling. Paying the $27 for the camp spot was worth it just for the shower. This isn’t a destination campground (none right off a major interstate are) but for a beautiful clean and safe place to pull off the road it served its purpose and more!

Not much happening in or around Rawlins but a great campground for a pit stop. Nice dog play areas, playground and mini golf for kids, laundry and all RV sites are pull through. Gravel parking lot is level, no shade, and the area can be extremely windy with 45+ mph winds.
