"Middle of nowhere Guernsey Wyoming the state park wraps around a reservoir with beautiful rock formations. There are campgrounds scattered all over and around the campground."
"Dogs not allowed on the beach areas and lots of rangers. Hot with very little share if in an electric site. Sites by the water don't have electric, but have shade."
"If you bring your dog be aware the are has tons of foxtail growing which can be dangerous for dogs."
"Pulled in around 8 during a thunder storm and just needed a place to sleep. Everything is pretty well marked with signs to tell what’s camping and what’s private property."
"Driving down US Highway 26 about 5 miles East of Ft. Laramie, you will find Pony Soldier RV Park. There are 52 RV Sites ranging from Electric and water to full hook ups."

Ranger Review of Larson Park Campground Wyoming."
"We got a drive thru site with water & 50 amp. Plenty of room for our 40’ class a and dingy. No sewer hookup, but a dump station on site. Plenty of shade trees and it’s a short walk to the river."
"Nice to walk about the whole area. Concrete bean bag toss games and about 5 horseshoe pitches. Bring your own toys. Basketball court and kids playground as part of the whole park."
"The lake is beautiful. Navigating the campgrounds as a newcomer was a tad difficult as there are numerous and the entrance booth was closed by the time we arrived."
"We rented a jetski from the marina and rode it around all day. There are mountain biking trails around and awesome sunsets! Great for kids and dogs!"
$30 - $32 / night
"Traveled to Oregon Trail tracks, Pony Express stop, and Fort Laramie on a day trip. Only 1 bathroom, but it was excellent with wonderful, large shower."
"Lots of land to walk the dog but not much to do for the kids. The town is 13 miles away for gas and groceries. There are many historical places to visit just 15 minutes away…. Ft."
"Located in the city park, there are a few tent camping spots and about RV 15 camping spots, some with electric hookups. There is no charge, but donations are accepted."
"Potable water is available at several hydrants, including one right adjacent to the first site, where we stayed. There's also an RV dump available, and best of all it's all free!"
GuideMostly long term campers, only 6-8 sites available. That is pretty standard for this area. Traveled to Oregon Trail tracks, Pony Express stop, and Fort Laramie on a day trip. Only 1 bathroom, but it was excellent with wonderful, large shower.
LegendLocated 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.
RangerWe booked for a couple of days to visit Scott’s Bluff Monument, Chimney Rock, and Fort Laramie. Sites are gravel but pretty level. Full hookup site had 30 and 50 amp hookups along with water and sewer. For $25 a night it’s a good value.

Ranger Review of Ice Mule Cooler Pro Large (23L)
We used our Ice Mule cooler as our cooler for our trip to Guernsey Wyoming. Placed our snacks and drinks in the cooler with two ice packs at 6am Friday morning. Was amazed that this kept everything cold through Sunday evening. Being able to carry a cooler on you back is a nice feature. We are looking forward to taking this on our canoe trips this summer as this is going to be way easier than lugging a hard sided cooler from our canoe to campsite each day. The pack/cooler is also comfortable to wear making it useful to long day hikes on hot days. It is going to be nice to have a nice cold drink on a hike when it is 90 degrees out.
ScoutThe manager Sue is amazing and is doing what she can to update and make sure everyone is happy. Small all gravel park, spaced rather close to each other but it works. Mostly surrounded by trees to help with wind. Small dog park and I believe there was a swing set as well.
RangerThis is a campground with many options. There is a playground, trails, a dog park, and a beautiful view, most of all. There are options for just electric/water or sewer, too. The reason for four stars: 1. There are a couple of VERY unsightly RVs that appear to be permanent. (Even shattered windows!) 2. Internet was for the most part unavailable, although our technology recognized its presence.
TravelerThere are only a few places to stay in this town and I was relieved on how safe and clean this facility was. Very nice pull through sights and the bathrooms were extremely clean. Dog park right across the street and big rig friendly. This is a smaller place but very easy to maneuver around no matter what size. Loved the grass at each site. Well taken care of and they paid attention to details making it perfect to stay. Definitely a great place for family or Solo Traveler.
LegendOpen May 1– October 1. Got the second to last site on a Wednesday in July(you can reserve sites after the campground opens on May 1). We chose this campground for its proximity to Scottsbluff. Although there is a tent site area, the campground was filled mostly with large RVs. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and even though it was not a large campground, the host escorted us to our site. He offered several times to deliver firewood to us if we wanted. Reasonable cost for sites($10 tent camping,$20 water and electric,$25 for full hook-up). Best sites are the ones at the end of the rows as they have a nice patch of lawn. Alcoholic beverages are permitted but must be consumed inside your rig/tent. WiFi is available but not a strong signal; using our own data worked much better. Restrooms were reasonably clean(accessed via a code) and there are showers. This campground is located within a city park and there are other facilities(fitness trail, dog park, and supposedly a zoo). I did a little exploring but rain was imminent so I didn’t wander far, however, the facilities outside the campground looked like they could have used a little TLC. Of course, there is a nearby train!
LegendCaptain Critter Country campground is located right off of highway 26 between Mitchell and Scottsbluff Nebraska. There is a set of train tracks on the other side of highway,and the trains blow there horns when they come through. Scared the crud out of me because they were so loud. When you pull into the campground it is obvious real quickly that it is in need of some TLC. There are spray painted tires around saplings throughout the campground. Along with spray painted numbers on the electrical boxes and in need of some clean up. There are bright yellow buckets over the water spigots. One of the reasons we stopped was because it advertised a fruit orchard and veggie garden that we could pick from to eat. So I set off walking to find these. The fruit orchard is non existent. On brochure given said it was coming. And the veggie garden was very overgrown with weeds couldn’t tell if anything was planted in most of it. I passed by a once swimming pool that is beyond repair. With that being said the owner is super nice and the campground has 36 full hook up sites with more being made. We paid $35 for the night. The lanes are cutely named -Bunny Blvd,Critter Court, Deer Drive, Fox Fairway, and Gopher Gateway to name a few. The dog park is a nice size and has water bowls for the pups and deflated balls to play with. There is a small backyard swing set for kids and areas with trees that provide shade. The bathroom and showers are closed due to Covid. A lot of the campers look like full timers, and I did not see any tent areas.
