Searching for a place to camp with your dog near Fort Laramie? Finding a place to camp with your dog in Wyoming has never been easier. Each pet-friendly campsite offers quick access to one or more of Fort Laramie's most popular destinations.
Two Moon is Glendo’s oldest campground, and can be accessed from I-25 by making your way through town to Glendo Park Road, and following Glendo Park road for about 4 miles, until you see the signs for Two Moon Campground. There are three entrances that will take you into the campground. It is situated within a pine forest, on a bluff which overlooks the lake. While there is no direct water access from Two Moon Campground, the Marina Boat ramp is a short 3/4 mile jaunt away and there is a small, but popular day use beach near the Marina, which can be accessed through Shelter Point Campground. Two Moon does have a trailhead, which gives hikers and bikers access to a large section of our non-motorized trail system, including a fairly easy-going trail which encircles the campground, and provides some beautiful views of the reservoir and dam. Two Moon also has three yurts, which are available for reservation year-round. Please check out our page on the yurts here for more information. Because of its age, much of Two Moon is built to accommodate smaller camping units (27 feet or less) and tents. We encourage visitors with larger RVs and fifth wheels to use the campground’s electrical sites and/or most of the campsites along the side of the campground closest to Glendo Park Road; the access road to the campsites farther back is narrow and winding, and most of those sites are too small to accommodate such camping units. Because Two Moon has such extensive amenities, and is relatively close to the park entrance, it is our most popular campground during the Spring, Fall, and Winter, though it recently has been an immensely popular summer destination as well.
CAMPSITES AT COLTER BAY ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS. CAMPING IS ALLOWED AT DESIGNATED SITES ONLY.
Colter Bay is a small campground, which is situated in a stand of Cottonwood trees just off of Lakeshore Drive. With only seven individual campsites, it is an ideal spot for you and your family to have some space to yourselves. The campground is largely undeveloped, with only a dirt road for access; six of the campsites do not have any established camping pads. Site 5 has an ADA compliant concrete RV pad. Colter Bay also has decently close access to the water on a seasonal basis. Normally, from May through early-mid July, the bay has water in it, and the campsites have very close foot-traffic access to the water. The water access, and sheltered nature of the cove make Colter Bay a very popular campground during high water. During the rest of the year, the bay drains out, and this campground becomes one of the farthest from the water. All campsites in Colter Bay are potentially impacted during high water flooding.

Camped at site #6 for a few nights in early September 2024. Site #6 was set back from campground road. Level. Perfect site for campervan. Wooded. Dirt/gravel driveway and picnic area. Picnic table, grill, metal fire ring. Large "backyards" behind sites. Short walk to one of 2 single vault toilets. Campground has a hand water pump. Sites are well separated, providing a some privacy. Access to Sunset Hill hiking trail. Campground road is gravel and ends in a loop. Campground is very quiet and peaceful. Only a few other campers here during our stay. Did receive T-Mobile data service. The road approaching the campground from the east is a little rough in places. Wonderful campground; would stay here again.

We stayed overnight. When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to out our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! It looked like it was an apocalypse film with the critters. We moved our tent far away from the tree they were on and were able to set up shop. The facilities were okay, the lake was beautiful! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don’t mind ants and buggy critters.
Guide
Like James reported, there are two very close sites with a third for handicapped. Quiet little town. My neighbor and I enjoyed a conversation.
Guide
The park was a great place to stay. Our spot was clean and level with electric. It was a convenient bike ride to the water. A vault was at the entrance of our particular site that was clean, well stocked and had a night light inside and out. The dump station is near the park HQ, as is potable water to fill your camper. There is no water at any of the sites.
Ranger
Spent two nights here. Some of the camp spots had electric, but the ones that were in where the trees were were all dry camping. Lots of great hiking trails though. High above the lake so no lake access here but boat ramp was maybe a mile down the road. Paid $94 for two nights which was for out of state visitor included electric and car permit. Had a fun looking playground for the kiddos.
Guide
No need to print receipt as the email says but if you don’t print it, call ahead. Also if you plan to use the lake, call ahead. It is drained once per year, usually in July. It’s only empty for about a week to ten days. We stayed at Sandy Point. Close to the lake, provided there is one. Also close to the train tracks. I like trains so it wasn’t an issue. Also they are going slow and are pretty quiet for freight trains. This is a great place to base to see numerous historical sites.
Legend
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.
TravelerIt was a weekend trip with a few of our friends. 6 Adults and 5 children. Three Rvs ranging from 16 ft to 35 ft. We got the group camping sites at Fish Canyon Campground 200A+B and 203A+B. We had planned on spending most of our time at the water but didn’t do much research. This was not the campground for that. Highly recommend going to Sandy Beach or any of the cove campgrounds if you plan on swimming. Watch out for high winds.
Traveler
There 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.

We 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.
RangerChose to stay two nights here to allow us to visit Agate Fossil Beds National Monument and Fort Robinson.
Sites are basically two parking stalls on a concrete pad. The only way to fit two RVs at a time would be if they were both vans, and that would be tight.
We were the only people staying, so we could put out our slides and camp in comfort.
Have 30 and 50 amp hookups, along with water.
Parked is very nicely kept and amazingly quiet at night. There are two bathrooms right next to the camp site.
Stay is donation based with deposit right next to camp sites.

It's decent but it's a concrete pad, you have to call city hall to get a code to unlock the water spigot and they close at 4pm. The area is clean but seems to be too expensive compared to other communities within 100 miles. Cross
the border and many Nebraska small towns offer cheaper or free stays. The atmosphere just isn't right but i came in late and needed a place to stay. For $25 next time i will look elsewhere. Maybe I'm cheap, but i expect more convenience for the price and fewer rules. No fires, no fire rings, your grille is ok, that's about all
Guide
I stayed a month, owner super responsive and easy to pay. All pull through sites, limited number.
Scout
Staff is extremely friendly. I took a shower immediately upon arrival and it was not a good experience. There were 3 stalls for women with no shower curtains covering each stall. Only 1 stall actually worked (barely). It took up to 7 minutes for the water to get warm and the pressure was a trinkle at best. I could not wash my hair because I would never get the soap out. Parking pad is dirt and weeds. Limited picnic tables. No fire pits. No propane. The train is across the road and loud horns. The last train we heard was 10p and it rain approximately every 40 minutes. Cash only to pay for site-$45 for 30 amp. The sunset was beautiful.
Scout
Not the best campground we’ve ever been to, but seemed pretty quiet with only 3 other spots taken while we were there. Fairly close together if you’ve got neighbors but also some walk in sites for tents which were a little further down from the main sites. Small creek closeby on the trial about 2 mins from the campground so we were able to wash off. There was a spigot in the campground but you pump it, it came out yellow at the beginning so make sure you pump it well before using - we boiled it when it became clearer anyway just to be sure. Would not recommend getting to this campsite from the south roads/ unpaved if you have anything less than a 4WD. We nearly didn’t make it to tell the tale with our 2WD. Dirt & paved roads from the north were better but still keep in mind they’re dirt/ gravel.
Scout
A great place for a night or two on your road trip. Gravel parking area with water and electric hoop up. $17 for electric and $34 for water and electric. The plug-in is at the front of the site, so our cord did not reach if we backed the camper (33ft) and truck all the way in. The shower house is nothing fancy but was clean (aside from all of the mosquitoes). Staff were very friendly.
Scout
There were wrecked cars at the edge of the water, both sides of the “lake” are not much bigger than a pond.
We left and drove on!
Scout
The site we had reserved was overgrown and inaccessible, but we were moved to a site that was. I did call and get a response which was the best thing I can say. This campground is bleak and exposed, minimal facilities. It needs a refresh badly
Scout
It is a nice camps spot, a bit exposed and a bit buggy by big e and had a nice vein of the lake and cliffs.
GuideThis is an awesome city park. Water and electric on concrete pads. Good spacing between sites. Clean and open. 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. Dump station is easy to get to. Would definitely be back. This is a first come first serve park. But we had no problems getting a nice site.
Guide
We stayed here one night on our way home from a long trip. Potable water is avail close to the latrines if needed. When we got to our site, BH-15, but we were confused b/c there was no pull through, carve out or any other markings other than a sign that said BH-15. Many other campers just put their rigs wherever they wanted. Our site had ankle deep weeds throughout. 4 dumpsters were actually overflowing with garbage and smelled awful. The latrines were in as bad of a shape as the dumpsters, flies and filth everywhere. We've stayed at many WY state parks and this was the worst. Will not be back. I'd rather Walmart 'camp'.
GuidePros:
Level sites
Easy place to get in and out of
Water, electricity, sewer, (I also noticed cable hookups but did not inquire about them)
Fairly priced
Conveniently located
Wifi
When we checked in we were given a list of places to eat, get fuel, walk the dogs
Cons:
None that I can think of at the moment.
We used this place as an overnight stop on our way back home, it was everything you could ask for in an overnight stop. I have zero complaints and think it was the best overnight campground we had stayed at on the entire trip.
GuideWe stayed at BJ’s Campground for just one night while passing through the area. We were in our class C while slowly making our way across the country. We had no problems getting a spot here. Sites are gravel for the RV, very level, and very well maintained. All sites are pull through. Hookups are in very good condition. Each site had a grassy area with a covered picnic table. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a park across the street with a playground.
The access to the campground was easy. Use caution when exiting the park. Google Maps took us down a block to exit the park. This was convenient for our campsite, but ended up with a couple of deep dips at crossroads. The streets coming into the park did not have dips.
We had 2 bar LTE with Verizon. Our hotspot was usable and performed very well. The campground wifi was average at best.
We enjoyed our brief stay at this campground. We will stay again when traveling this way.
Traveler
Plenty of spots around the water. Lots of trees for shade. I spent a restful 2 nights. There are large fish (about a foot long or more) that splash along the shoreline. A few bow fishermen were there to try their luck.
TravelerWe camped here late November 2022 and it was awesome / very cold. beautiful scenery, slight rough road going in. had dead timber around for fire. would easily camp here again.
Traveler
Spots are just off the highway but it was quiet, pull through parking lot with no trees. Clean bathrooms, coin showers and laundry right across the street. We didn’t need the hook ups, just pulled in and out early next morning. It worked great for us!
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.
