    Douglas KOA

    Jackalope Capital

    Douglas KOA

    Home of the Jackalope! Douglas, Wyoming that is. They claim the original “discovery” of the Jackalope and everyone else just followed suit. There is a Jackalope silhouette outside of town on a hill, there are Jackalope lick Nessie’s throughout town and there is a Jackalope Square that has Farmers Market on Saturday’s that has a huge statute of said Jackalope.

    The KOA is a larger one and more so like a parking lot then anything else. The staff were awesome! Very friendly and informative. A few things of note, the trash receptacles are placed throughout the campground which is nice. The dog park is a bigger one and there were actually locations for horses.
    Not much shade AT ALL, and the wind whip’s through a lot. I was informed though that’s a Wyoming thing anyway. Miniature golf, swimming pool and camp kitchen as expected. The WIFI , I’m sorry to say, sucks and is not private. I’ve noticed in my travels though that NONE of the KOA’s have very good WIFI. I was fortunate and got an end site, near the office/shower (clean w/short shower heads and counters)and I had shade. A few days before I arrived in early September it had already snowed and the temperature had dropped into the 20’s. It was in the 50’s my first day and is a comfortable 75 today with a lite breeze. Douglas has some interesting history and historical sites nearby so it’s worth a visit if your exploring the old west or just driving through. Make sure you keep your gas above 1/2, the highways are a long way between gas stations and the speed limits are usually 70-80 MPH.

    Douglas KOA

    Nice KOA

    This is a well cared for park and a great place to spend the night. Easy in/ easy out with a big rig. It also has a cute walk-up coffee shop which we unfortunately didn’t get to take advantage of. Looks like a great stopover if you’re hauling horses!

    Home if the Jackolope & Everything you could need

    Whether you need a place to park for the night or for the week this is a good choice. There are a few down falls like no trees big enough to give you shade making it really hot. It is full hook ups with cable and WiFi. There is a dog run, mini golf, and pool. There weren’t as many campers this year and staff thought maybe because the high gas prices and that Yellowstone flooded might be the cause. The staff was really friendly. In the shop I was impressed that they supported local business. There’s also free internet and computer to use as well as a free coffee bar in the shop. Found out that it’s under new ownership and they’ve decided not to have horse ring and pens anymore. There are a few cabins and tent areas. You can hear a bunch of traffic noise. Otherwise it’s a nice park

    Glenrock South Recreation Complex

    Nice and free camping

    Our GPS was able to easily guide us here. Unfortunately it’s raining so we haven’t really explored the area but there is a small playground and it looks like maybe a rodeo set up. Each site has a grill set up which you can see in the picture. There’s also a picnic table and there is water available although there’s not a hook up at each site. There’s also a disc golf course set up. It is right next to the interstate so there is interstate noise but it’s not all that bad. Especially since it’s free. There’s lots of nice shade and some areas of sunshine also. The campground seems to be well kept up. Although we have a small rig After we got here, we saw someone with the large rig with a toad. It is now morning and both of us agreed the traffic was not a bother last night at all. There are people that bring their dogs out here to walk them off lead. And the trash cans were full. We would definitely stay here again.

    For desert lovers

    Stopped here for the night and the view is breathtaking.

    Bishops Point Campground

    Not to bad

    This is my second time staying here, it’s not bad. Definitely windy and there are few spots with trees but not really. The water is great especially if you have a boat, or paddle board. The big negative to me is the bathroom situation there really far away for some spots. But all in all it’s good spot to stay!

    Good. Free. Easy access

    Nice little campground. Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00.

    Bishops Point Campground

    Unkept & slightly trashy

    Campground empty during October, appears it is a busy campground during peak season for boaters and anglers. The sites are unmaintained and in need of some love. There is a lot of trash around the campground, beer cans and bottles along all the roads in the bushes. If you’re walking dogs, be careful of broken glass and old fishing hooks. The views, sky and wildlife here are the reason for the 3 stars. No water, power or dump. Has vault toilets, trash, picnic tables and fire rings. Very peaceful during shoulder season, very low traffic even on the weekends.

    Douglas KOA

    Wide open spaces but not a whole lot of shade. Super nice staff and it’s pretty quiet.

    We were too tired to make it to our next stop, saw this KOA on the side of the highway so it was perfect for what we needed.
