Best Cabin Camping near Gillette, WY

Great little campground close to the monument. All the modern amenities. They also offer cabin rentals which is nice if you dont want to bring all your gear or weather the elements. Personally we prefer a more rustic state/national park style campground. Next time we visit devils tower we'll be making the short drive from Custer.

The location is at the foot of Devils Tower. The cabins are clean and a showerhouse with laundry services is provided. They also have a post office, dinner, two stores, and a convenience store across the street.

Loved this park, the bay was very peaceful.   Most sites have water and electric.   There is a dump station at the front of the park.  Spaces have cement picnic tables and fire pits, but due to high risk, fires were not allowed while we were there.  Good spacing between sites and bathrooms through out.  Central shower house may be a distance from your site.  Our site was not very level, but we were able to manage.   There are some cabins also.

Nice view by a lake but...

Wyoming state parks seem to be hostile to non residents. It"s cheaper to stay at a regular rv park and you have better amenities.

You can only reserve online. Online resevation fee $8. Fee for electric site $18. Electric fee additional $10.
Non resident fee $12. Plus tax. $2.34. Then the only way to pay online was a credit card so there was a $1.26 convenience fee. Nothing about this was convenient.

Been through Wyoming a few times. First time staying at a Wyoming state park. Possibly the last.

Beach of wyoming

So far this is our best KOA experience, though I'm taking off 1 star because the mingolf experience, which looks like a great one, was closed for renovation during peak season which seems inexcusable. Great views of the tower, numerous shade options, working hookups. Our power actually had the polarity reversed, but it worked fine. The dump station had a somewhat odd placement requiring me to drive around reverse of the campsite order to get on the right side, but that seems somewhat usual apparently. Also during rain the dump site was flooded, so make sure you have good gloves! It still worked under the flood waters. 

Store was interesting with some great items to pickup, ice cream, and decent food, though during the uptick of delta covid-19 in wyoming nobody was wearing masks or distancing. 

2 great playgrounds for the kids!

Pros: most of the spots have some shade and an awesome cement picnic table. They’re also spaced far enough apart that each one has privacy. Pat’s point has a nice trail where you can sit and watch the sunset. During the week things are quiet.

Cons: while the showers were nice, 2 of the 4 were locked the entire week. The change machine was consistently out of order. No one kept their dogs on leashes despite the posted signs. Our first night a couple had a loud, drunken argument, ending with the wife telling her child (maybe 7) to F*** off. The camp host didn’t really do anything about noise or when cars were parked blocking the road.

We loved this place. In the Tatonka campground area, we had water and power with rv dumps at the entrance. We were close to the lake. Quiet and spacious sites. Most rv sites are on a little of a hill but level enough. Birds chirping in the morning was a fabulous way to wake up in this beautiful area. Definitely reccomended and would come back again.

Nice place, lots of flies, we wanted a site that said it was reserved I asked a ranger and said yes it’s reserved no one ever showed up for the 4 days we were there. The price is double if you’re from out of state wtf. We moved one time and both sites had lots of trash left behind from previous campers.

Beautiful lake, not a ton of sandy beach areas but good size lake for water sports and walleye fishing.

Cottonwood campsites are nice. Close walk to lake shore to play, fish or paddle board. #19 or #18 are our favorites. Especially on the 4th of July for fireworks.

There is fun lake for families and friends of all ages about 5 minutes away. Rocks to jump off, live music and boats are allowed. The campground had nice space, fire rings and picnic tables. Fun campgrounds keepers and a pretty river to watch the sun go down on!

This is largest KOA we’ve visited with huge grassy areas for tons of tent camping and spacious RV sites for rigs of all sizes. Views of Devil’s Tower can be seen throughout the park especially from the outdoor theater where they play “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” every night.
TIP: don’t rely on your KOA app or online reservation system. They state “only 1 space left!” in red. I counted 8 empty sites on our row alone. Always call!! We stayed in site #18 which had a long shaded, grassy area to spend lazy afternoons. The sites are level with a combo of gravel and dirt. There’s two bathroom/shower/laundry buildings.
Not sure what’s going on with their pools. Both are closed and one under construction. There’s still plenty to do: two playgrounds, hay rides, putt putt golf and live entertainment in the evenings. Loved our stay.

Very, very nice place. Quiet. Air conditioned bathhouses. Super nice staff. Would definitely stay here again.
