    Pony Soldier RV Park

    Quiet RV park

    Personnel were very friendly. Parking is on dirt but it’s level and well packed sand. Full hookups at each site. Everything is clean and well manicured. Electric pedestals, water spigots, and sewer hookups are in excellent condition and easy to use. Picnic tables at most sites. I would definitely stay here again.

    Riverside City Park

    Good overnight stop location

    Free campsite with water and dump station, both located at the restroom. No designated campsites, just find a spot along either side of the driveway fence and parallel park.

    Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access

    Grey rocks Reservoir is peaceful and a perfect place to stay

    We took a gravel road in from Fort Laramie. The road in is about 10 miles of unpaved gravel, totally fine for my SUV. We drove by cattle crossing the road but they were kind and slowly crossed for us to get by. Once you get to the reservoir, there are many pull offs. We got in around 6pm and the first few sites were full, only had to drive in about 10-15 to find an open spot that worked for us! Was right on the water and only 2 cars drove by the site around 9… other than that, saw no one! Peaceful, quiet, beautiful sunset and sunrise.

    Minimal bugs at my specific site but the more trees, the more bugs you have. Very windy as we went to bed around 9 but it was the perfect weather to fall asleep too!

    Buggy but beautiful

    We arrived late but it was easy to find and the road was one of the better paved roads we’ve traveled on. Most of the spots in the front were full but we found a spot to ourselves not too far from it. Beware of the water. There was some sort of bacteria warning when we visited. Other than that, there was privacy, tons of open air, and a beautiful view. The mosquitos were present but didn’t bite much. The flies were definitely biting but nothing pants and a sweatshirt can’t fix! Keep in mind the grass was pretty tall and there was only fire pits on the beach

    Lake Recreation

    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. Most near water had trees. Ones in middle not much shade.

    Lakeside Dispersed Spot

    When you get to the beginning of the lake it’s very full of RVs and campers. As you keep driving there are a few dispersed spots. We found a spot right on the lakeside which was secluded from everyone. If you are looking for trees, this is not the place. Bring lots of water toys. Be advised as of jun 2025 no fires are permitted. Bring propane gas cookers, or cook in your camper/RV.
