"There are tent, cabins and rv sites. For the kids there's a playground and miniature golf. The only negative is there's no grass. It's a big gravel lot. It's right off the highway."
"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."
"I camped right by, what used to be, Rim Lake. Its all dried up now. The area was very quiet, I was the only one camping there. There were fire pits set up to cook on."
"This is a good place for using an ORV because there are trails up the mountain for them. It's a good place to fish, camp, and hang out. It's bars minimum out here. Nothing special."

GuideI camped right by, what used to be, Rim Lake. Its all dried up now. The area was very quiet, I was the only one camping there. There were fire pits set up to cook on. There was a good amount of wildlife, birds, coyotes, deer. Its nothing special but a perfect place to post up for the night! I'd stop here again.
RangerThis 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.
GuideClean restrooms, showers were really nice so was the laundry. We got there after a lot of rain and things were flooded and muddy. Hook ups are right next to your neighbors picnic table? No real place to walk your dog. Staff was very nice and friendly. Overall a good one night stop.
ScoutI’m not crazy about private roadside RV parks and I didn’t expect too much here. I was pleasantly surprised that the noise level was lower than expected and the bathrooms were sparkling clean and new-looking and so were the showers. I was a happy camper.
GuideThis place was just what we needed. Bathhouse was spotless. Lots of hot water. The spots were nicely spaced. Not crowded at all. It's all gravel but hey, it's in the high Wyoming desert! $40 but got the Good Sam discount and that helped.
ScoutWe 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!
GuideBeautiful 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.
Guideand 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.
