    Chuck Wagon RV Park

    Small campground-16 sites

    Located in Fort Laramie on Us Hwy 26 is the Chuckwagon Rv Park. It is a small park with 16 Full hook up sites. Each site has a picnic table but no fire ring( which we are finding normal for this area). It is privately owned and is fine for a quick stop passing through.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Beautiful Yurt and boat during the silt run

    Guernsey has 4 yurts you can rent for $40/night. Clean, all have electricity. Bunk beds with mattresses and fold out futon couch. Wood fire stove if you need heat. Shared pit toilet, bring toilet paper. Picnic table with fire ring. Please buy all firewood locally, don't transport wood! Beautiful sunsets. You might be able to hear the artillery of the National Guard practice area when they are active - which is most of the summer. The best time we had here was during the silt run, which is in mid-July each year. Water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir flushing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators. If you like mud, the reservoir is a ton of fun, as the water level is down 25'. Transporting kayaks through the mud proves challenging - don't fall down or lose a shoe. The reward is a fantastic, easy float of the North Platte river from the reservoir all the way to the edge of town. There was not another camper at the yurt and we saw no one on the river as boats can't get to it due to the mud.

    Prairie View Campground

    Great Little Campground

    Such a great campground just outside of Lusk WY. Pull through sites that are full hookup. Very clean bathrooms and showers (newly remodeled). Also have laundry services. Campground owners are super friendly and helpful. Also a very pet friendly place. They have WiFi that works pretty good. Have had to use my hotspot some when it cuts out. If looking for places to walk there is about a .2 mile loop around the campground, a rest stop 1/2 a mile away with a walking path and also a gravel road across the highway from the campground that barely has traffic. Town has a nice grocery and hardware store. People here are super friendly. Only downside is that it is along a busy highway so you hear some road noise but if you’re in a trailer with windows closed it isn’t very noticeable. Has been a great experience!

    Awesome place to visit

    A wonderful place to tent camp. Very quiet area, and sites are usually secluded. Gorgeous views. The reservoir is not good for fishing, so we went to the nearby grayrocks reservoir and had luck there. Also, the water is freezing! We tried swimming. There was also a small wildfire while we were there.

    Lake very low and train at night

    We stayed at the Sandy Cove loop, site 142. The non-electric site was fine, a picnic table and fire circle. There’s a train that comes by and kept us up at night. Also the lake was super low, so not able to be enjoyed.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Hot and sunny - but might be nice with a boat

    This was rated highly by others but we didn’t enjoy our stay. The State Park is spread out over a few miles around a lake formed by a dam. The entrance fee collector was not helpful in describing where to camp. Driving through it looks like you pay a fee to get in and then look for campfire rings for a dispersed camping site. Little loops are given different campground names. 

    It was hot and we needed some shade. We found one spot that was down a canyon and away from the water. We were the only ones in the loop so it was private but what a mess. Garbage was all over and I couldn’t even use the men’s vault toilet near us. Water pressure was amazing and garbage cans were easily found at the end of the canyon loop. 

    We did drive around to see the highlights and everything is out in the sun. They say they have miles of hiking trails but we didn’t go far because of the heat. 

    If you have a boat and get a spot by the water this might have been a different experience for us.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Panoramic Views with many camping options

    I was looking for a place along I-25 to break up a drive, and I was not disappointed. I was a little apprehensive picking a place 10+ mile East of the highway, since I know most of the great views fo the Tetons are West of the highway, but this place delivered in spades.

    First off, there are plenty of places to camp within the park. Choose from a beachside spot or a beach point (+100s of feet) view. I elected for a small, 3 plot only place called Davis Bay to get some solitude. The Ranger who ran into me during his rounds of the grounds said this place is pretty vacant on weekdays (I camped on a Wed) with places like the above mentioned spots along with Yurts and a place called "the Castle" available for group rentals.

    Overall the park is in really great shape, and I highly recommend a bike ride/hike/drive up to Brimmer's Point, which provides a lot of the views you'll see from the photos.

    My area had no water, and I noticed the same from Beachside spots. Skyline View campgrounds was the one with the potable water.

    While I imagine this place is fantastic for everything from water skiing and fishing to party boating along the river (with various launch points) it is highly dependent on the water level, which appears at the mercy of the township since this is a reservoir lake-related setup so if you're one for water sports, I recommend a call to the park to get a report on water levels.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Great base camp

    We stayed here and traveled to the local sites. The camping area has a great view. The RV sites are pretty level and some have power and water. At the entrance is a good place to fill up fresh water tanks if you are staying at a dispersed site. The dump station is at the entrance as well. The staff and Park Rangers were very kind and courteous as we visited the different historic locations. We will definitely return.


Guide to Fort Laramie

Cabin camping near Fort Laramie, Wyoming provides access to the North Platte River valley terrain with elevations averaging around 4,200 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-90°F while winter months can drop below freezing, affecting cabin availability and amenities. Most cabin accommodations require advance booking, particularly during peak summer season when historical site visitation increases.

What to do

Boat during silt run: Guernsey State Park offers a unique opportunity during the mid-July silt run when water levels drop significantly. "The best time we had here was during the silt run, which is in mid-July each year. Water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir flushing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators," notes Sarah N. about her Guernsey State Park Campground stay.

Visit historical sites: The Oregon Trail Ruts are accessible near Guernsey State Park cabins. "Stayed in the Yurts here for part of my honeymoon. Great views and very peaceful. Close to the Oregon Trail Ruts," mentions Brianna V. about her honeymoon experience.

Explore hiking trails: Several short trails within the park offer interesting terrain for day hikes. "Easy access and views of the lake. Forested; private sites available. Interesting history/museum. Some short trails. Bring bug spray," advises Melanie Z. about Prairie View Campground.

What campers like

Yurt accommodations: The yurts at Guernsey State Park receive positive reviews for their functional amenities. "Clean, all have electricity. Bunk beds with mattresses and fold out futon couch. Wood fire stove if you need heat. Shared pit toilet, bring toilet paper. Picnic table with fire ring," describes a visitor about the yurt features.

Clean facilities: Prairie View Campground maintains well-kept shower facilities. "Bathroom and showers are super clean. Owners were helpful in recommending a place to eat and let us pick our spot. Enjoyed the cows who came up to visit," reports Don O. about his experience.

Multiple camping loops: Guernsey State Park offers various camping areas with different advantages. "I stayed at Newell Bay as its first come first serve. The price for the park is $30 for 1 day and 1 night which is a bit expensive," notes Nicole B. about her camping options at Guernsey.

What you should know

Train noise: Some campgrounds experience significant railroad disruption. "From the grumpy lady at the gate to the trashed campsite this could have been a bad experience but I didn't let that get to me. Cleaned it all up and set my sites on a great weekend. Then the train came... and another one... all night long," warns Karen L. about her Guernsey State Park experience.

Seasonal water access: Water systems may not operate early in the season. "My only complaint is that the showerhouse is closed! I wish it had stated that on the website, it said it was open as of April 15th but they havent turned the water on yet. If you plan to use the showerhouse, call the park first and check its open!" advises Nicole B.

Varied site conditions: Arrowhead RV Park offers cabin options but terrain can be challenging. "While traveling through the Big Horn Mountains we stayed at this gem! Holy smokes there were a lot of negatives... No cell service, thin air, wild animals.... And then... the Adventure began!" explains an enthusiastic reviewer.

Tips for camping with families

Scout smaller campground loops: The less populated sections often provide better family experiences. "I elected for a small, 3 plot only place called Davis Bay to get some solitude. The Ranger who ran into me during his rounds of the grounds said this place is pretty vacant on weekdays," shares Daniel B. about Westfield cabins.

Prepare for water activities: Guernsey Reservoir offers swimming and boating opportunities. "Nice for boating and swimming activities. Stayed at Sandy point loop. This loop has about 1/2 mile on gravel road. Sites were nicely spread out for a major CG," mentions one reviewer.

Explore local town amenities: Lusk provides good supplies for families. "Town has a nice grocery and hardware store. People here are super friendly. Only downside is that it is along a busy highway so you hear some road noise but if you're in a trailer with windows closed it isn't very noticeable," advises Myndi C.

Tips from RVers

Site selection matters: Pull-through sites vary in quality and levelness. "Able to pick own site. All pull through sites. Sites are close together. Electrical box and water connection appears to be relatively new. No frills," explains James P. about Chuck Wagon RV Park.

Walking options: Limited exercise routes exist near campgrounds. "If looking for places to walk there is about a .2 mile loop around the campground, a rest stop 1/2 a mile away with a walking path and also a gravel road across the highway from the campground that barely has traffic," notes a Prairie View camper.

Cell service considerations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. "WiFi was good, but streaming was spotty. The campground is just outside of town. Roadway noise was minimal," reports Jennifer H. about her technology experience.
