Best RV Parks & Resorts near Elk Mountain, WY

Verizon speed 33 d/l 22 u/l. Have games like horseshoe, mini golf, dog area. They even have a Suburban courtesy vehicle to get around town. Didn't use it so don't know the details, just cool they had the option.

Walmart, McDonald's, Taco Bell less than 10 minutes away (downtown). We stayed an extra night due to high winds causing the I80 East towards Cheyenne to close. Had no problems, hosts were kind and accommodating. FYI, they're closing for the season 10/15/20 so double check before coming.

Had several options of hookups and slightly cheaper than the RV park nearby.

Railroad and freeway nearby so expect a bit of noise.

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.

Excellent small campground. Everything from full hookups to grassy tent spots. Bathroom with showers. Laundry facilities. Sits on the Encampment River. Owners Lee Ann & Leroy were very friendly & helpful.

This wooded campground has a very narrow season. Gravel roads (starting at Albany) were snowed in 4 miles out in late May 2019, While there are gendered vault toilets (TP stocked), bring your own water for cooking and cleaning. This fact alone makes it better for RVs than tent campers like us. There are loads of sites, well spaced with fire rings and picnic tables. We got rain and small hail on the 3rd weekend in July and it got to 40 F or below overnight. Deer, chipmunks, and a bald eagle were spotted. There were mosquitoes. There is a boat ramp into the reservoir. Heavily ATV traffic. Dog friendly but must be on leash. Gunfire noted early and late across reservoir. With proper prior planning, you will probably have a pleasant experience.

Very well maintained and clean. Leroy, the owner lives there onsite. A mix of primitive and full hookup sites are available and even a 4 room motel. Very quiet and calm when we stayed in June. Easy highway access,but virtually no cell service with Verizon. The campground provided WiFi was decent. Leroy runs a tight ship at the camp, but it’s worth it. I would stay again when back in the area.

Needed a stop for the night and this sufficed. The check in without a reservation was smooth and painless. The sites look newly rocked and clean. Our site was full hookup which was convenient. Firepits provided and they looked brand new. Location is off the interstate and you can hear it all night. There is literally not a drop Of shade - i would expect it would be hot as hell in the middle of the rock during the day. Fine for a night - nothing more.

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.

Plenty of camping, epic fishing, and tons of water! This camp spot is between 2 reservoirs and offers plenty of camping for RVs or tents right on the water with access to restrooms. Amazing fishing and floating opportunities. Make sure to get all of your shopping needs before heading out, because the closest marina for restocking is about 40 minutes away. There is no cell phone reception. But it's all 100% worth it if fishing is your thing... you'll soon learn why it's called The Miracle Mile.

We showed up after the office closed, but they had a map out for us to find our spot. It was easy to pull in and hookup our trailer. The sites are really clean, and they take pride in their sites here. There’s a little playground for the kids and dog park for the kids. The sites are goons need some leveling for your trailer, just FYI. You’re also really close to the highway so you get a good amount of noise early in the morning.

I would have rated this CG 4 stars, if it weren’t for the rattlesnakes. We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and needed a place to boondock over the 4th weekend and this place fit the bill nicely. We stayed in the first site(site 5, go figure) on the loop for 7 days in early July. There are only 5 formal sites and one group site, but there are a few other informal sites to be had as well just outside the CG. The sites are gravel and all looked“fairly” level. We managed to just get level. Site 5 is a very long site and there are some fairly large potholes at the front of the site, but the backend is smooth. The sites are spaced about 100 yards or so apart, give or take depending on location. The grounds are all open sagebrush and there are a lot of rattlesnakes in the area - we saw four. Terri had a close encounter with one on the side of the road and 2 days later our dog was bitten right on the side of the road also and had to stay two nights at the vet in Rawlins, so be aware and careful. The mosquitos can be pretty bad in the mornings and evenings, but not too bad with the breeze/wind during the day. The biting flies can be an issue any time of day. Lemon Eucalyptus seemed to be pretty effective at keeping both at bay most times. However, the gnats are small enough to make it through our screens and our Katchy pad was full every morning. The ants were also rather pesty when sitting outside. As others have mentioned, we have seen deer, bald eagles, ducks, pelicans and heard a band of coyotes that came rather close to camp one night. AT&T coverage is a spotty in this area without a booster, typically only 1-2 Bars of 3G service and up to 0.05 MB/s. With our weboost we were able to get 3-4 bars of LTE, with speeds up to 0.5 MB/s. T-Mobile had 4 bars of 4G service, with speeds up to 1.5 MB/s. It was probably LTE, but our Solis X hotspot only delivers 4G. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna. 

There is a dirt road that goes past the CG, and looking at Google Maps (satellite), there appears to be dispersed camping along the river down there, but this is apparently private property with a locked gate barring entrance, at least while we were here. Some the locals/owners were camped there over the holiday weekend and got rather loud at times, firing guns and riding their ATVs back and forth on that road well into the night. The other nights were quiet. Also, one of their dogs, a white Husky mix, wandered all the way from their camp into ours and right up to our RV, and though probably friendly otherwise, nearly had an altercation with our dog.

This campsite was pretty awesome, and the views and scenery were beautiful. One of my favorite parts about this campground is that every site does have a view of the lake. My buddies and I came here pretty late in the day, and still got a pretty great spot...with a view of the lake! The cost to stay was only $10 a night, which is well worth it! We stayed here 2 nights, so we just split the $30 cost. We brought our kayaks and stand up paddle boards, and really enjoyed doing this in the lake. We literally just walked a few steps and put our boards and kayaks in the water! The campground was very well kept and clean which we appreciated too. The last couple of miles before getting to the campground are gravel road, and the road is pretty narrow. I would say all vehicles could probably fit down this road, but we did have to get over a few times to let cars coming down get by. They do provide restrooms, and we thought they were pretty well kept and clean. They don't have any electrical hook-ups, which would be a downer for those bringing an RV and wanting the electrical hook-up. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for wildlife. We saw a few moose and some deer, but we were told/warned that there are black bears and bobcats that have been seen numerous times. We did put all our food in containers and up from the ground for this reason. The campground is in a great location, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and trees. We really enjoyed hanging our hammocks and sitting by the fire at night. We also really enjoyed some great hikes that were nearby. The hikes we did were Sheep Lake Trail and Lost Lake Trail. Both were great hikes that had some pretty awesome views which made the hard hike worth it. We also saw people fishing in the lake, although we didn't do this. Cant wait to come back and hang here again!
