LegendWY BLM Campground Nestled near Sinclair, Wyoming, the BLM campground offers a tranquil escape with five sites, including a convenient pull-through option. Situated at Exit 219 on I-80, follow signs towards Seminoe State Park on CR 351. The campground is roughly 6 miles from the interstate(N 41.86077 W 107.05328) and accessible even for small cars, even in rainy conditions.
While there's no drinking water available, the free campsites are worth the slightly bumpy road. The area is dog-friendly, perfect for those traveling with their furry companions. Basic amenities include scattered picnic tables and a pit toilet deep within the camp. No cell service (Verizon).
Be prepared for mosquitos, but the serene and picturesque surroundings more than compensate. For those seeking a nature-focused experience, this spot is ideal. Consider it a playground of natural beauty. Restrooms are limited to the pit toilet, and picnicking is a joy with tables dotted throughout the area. Despite the insect presence, this campground offers a peaceful haven, making it an excellent choice for tent camping enthusiasts.
TravelerAbsolutely beautiful small BLM Camping right on the River Platt. We pulled our fifth wheel toy hauler with zero issues and parked in a large dirt pad.
GuideWe stayed at The Laramie KOA in August 2021. This is a FHU RV Park which offers a variety of sites including premium extra large pull-thru sites. We opted to save the added expense of the premium sites and stayed at a regular pull thru-site. These sites are very close together which was difficult to negotiate into with our fifth wheel. The sites are so close together that I had my neighbors sewer hose directly in front of my camp chair between my legs. 😳👎🏻 Next time we will opt for a premium site because this is a very nice, well maintained KOA with an excellent staff. There is a nice dog run here and lots of green space to walk dogs. We were able to receive mail here, also. All in all, we would recommend this park and enjoyed our stay here.

LegendWith a total of 8 well-maintained sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, this campground strikes the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness. The availability of essential facilities like a vault toilet and trash cans makes roughing it a bit easier. Plus, the added convenience of a boat ramp is a definite bonus for those looking to get out on the water.
Whether you're in a small rig or a larger one, you're covered here. There's a convenient pull-through site for ease of access, and the remaining spots can easily accommodate rigs between 20 to 25 feet. What's more, most of the sites are nestled beneath the cool shade of majestic trees, offering a cozy respite from the sun. The combination of well-equipped sites, riverside tranquility, and a touch of shade makes for an decent camping experience.
TravelerPremium sites are spacious with picnic tables and fire pits. Easy access to I 80. Flat site
LegendSouth Brush Creek Campground offers a secluded escape, reachable by a 2-mile gravel road off the beaten path. The journey from a paved road adds a touch of adventure to the experience. Keep in mind that the campground operates from Memorial Day weekend through September, so it's perfect for a summer getaway.
20 sites, including 6 pull-through spots for smaller trailers, complete with picnic tables, fire grates, and even toilets and trash service. But what really impressed me was the range of activities.
The Brush Creek Hiking Trail System had me exploring the area's natural beauty, and the Stump Hollow and Cedar OHV trails has a burst of excitement for off-road fans. If you're into fishing, the nearby streams are perfect. The Brush Creek Visitor Center's just a stone's throw away on Hwy 130. If you're looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure, this campground's got you covered.
TravelerThis small campground is located on the Laramie River at historic Wood's Landing. It has log cabins with common facilities and 5 available water/30 amp electric and a dump station. The sites are small but the location is feet from fine trout fishing and a good restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday. It has a small store and a gas pump where fishing licenses are sold. We stayed for a week and explored Big Creek Lake, the North Platte and the Snowy Range, earning the weekly rate. Some sites have a fire pit and table, ours did not.
GuideThere are probably 7 or 8 spots with picnic tables. Most have fire rings and a grill but not all. Bathrooms within walking distance. Dry and bare ground scape so no wood scavenging to be done here. Bring in firewood for sure! Also wouldn’t recommend tent camping as the ground is gravel with lots of rocks of various sizes! Easy road in so could bring a trailer or RV of any size. Pretty views. Only one other group here so quiet and lots of space
GuideThis camp site is a bit small but did have pull through spots large enough for our F150 and 37’ trailer. If you have a long setup I suggest bringing an extension cord for your electric. Inexplicably, the pedestal for the electric was pretty close to the front of the pull through. Luckily a fellow camper had a spare extension we could borrow. This site was convenient however for passing through. The sunset was beautiful with the mountains as a backdrop. The park is clean, would stay again.
Elk Mountain, Wyoming, offers a fantastic backdrop for RV camping, with beautiful landscapes and well-reviewed parks that cater to various needs.
