Best RV Parks & Resorts near Elk Mountain, WY

264 Reviews

Several RV parks surround Elk Mountain, Wyoming, providing varied options for motorhome travelers. Red Desert Rose Campground in Rawlins offers year-round big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, a sanitary dump station, and on-site market. Deer Haven RV Park in Saratoga operates seasonally from May 15 to October 31, featuring water, sewer, and electrical connections with both 30 and 50-amp service options. The Laramie RV Resort provides pull-through sites with full hookups, though spaces can be tight. "The 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 neighbor's sewer hose directly in front of my camp chair between my legs," noted one RV traveler who recommended upgrading to premium sites for more space.

Navigation to RV parks in this region requires planning, especially during peak seasons. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals at parks closer to Interstate 80. Most RV campgrounds near Elk Mountain are pet-friendly, though specific restrictions may apply. Dugway Recreation Site and Dugway Campground both accommodate big rigs but lack electrical hookups, making them better suited for self-contained units with generators. The Medicine Bow area experiences significant seasonal closures, with many campgrounds shutting down between October and May due to harsh winter conditions. Propane service is limited in the immediate Elk Mountain area, so RVers should fill tanks in larger towns like Rawlins or Laramie before arrival. Gravel pads are standard at most parks, with concrete pads rare even at premium sites.

    Dugway Campground

    Peaceful Tent Camping near Sinclair

    WY 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.

    RJourney Laramie RV Resort (formerly Laramie KOA)

    Nice park but tight spots.

    We 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. If you would like to see videos of this park and others, please check out our YouTube channel: Jeff & Steff’s Excellent Adventure.

    Encampment River Campground — Bureau Of Land Management

    Nice secluded spots with trees next to the river

    With 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.

    South Brush Creek Campground (Wy) — Medicine Bow Routt N Fs & Thunder Basin Ng

    Drive north to visit the springs in saratoga

    South 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.

    Teton Reservoir Campground - CLOSED

    Serene views of the reservoir and landscape

    There 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

    Wood Landing Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This 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.

    Rawlins KOA

    Convenient KOA

    This 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.
