4. Laramie Peak Area
Be the first to review!Wheatland, Wyoming•6 SavesThe Laramie Peak area is located in east central Wyoming, stretching from southeast of Casper to west of Wheatland. This portion of the Medicine Bow National Forest is part of the Laramie Range and is dominated by the jagged 10,274 foot crest of Laramie Peak. The Laramie Peak area is managed by the Douglas Ranger District. With nearly 180,000 acres on the Medicine Bow National Forest, the Laramie Peak area offers many public uses and recreation opportunities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, OHV riding, and many others. From I25 at Douglas or Glendo, expect to drive one hour just to get to the National Forest boundary and another half hour to an hour to get where you are headed. Dispersed Camping is allowed on all Forest Service Land in the Laramie Peak Unit, the restrictions are on motor vehicle parking and road access. The Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) identifies what roads are open to the public. From there, you can camp along open roads and trails, parking 1 to 2 car lengths from the road and in selected areas up to 300' from the road (see MVUM) and in either case, you cannot cause habitat damage. After the Campgrounds close (Esterbrook, Friend Park, Curtis Gulch and Campbell Creek), they can be used for dispersed camping. The vault toilet will be open but water and trash services are not available. Please pack in and pack out, limit stays to 14 days and bear in mind that many of the county roads have limited maintenance from November to May.

Riverside Park
Great Location
Beautiful tree lined park in the center of town. Borders the North Platte River and a main city street. Traffic noise? Yes. But it wasn’t bothersome. Local folks driving through to see what’s going on and who’s visiting? Yes! And why wouldn’t they? Clean restrooms and showers? Yes! Picnic tables…Grills…Green grass…Beautiful trees…Water? Yes! And free for up to 2 nights! Douglas is a great community and there is a ton to see and do nearby.

A bit noisy, but convenient
Well, the traffic was noisy, but the bathroom was clean. There are picnic tables and little grills situated for public use which was nice, and a grocery 3 minutes away. However, there seemed to be lots of local use of the park, which wouldn’t bother me normally, except for the lack of consideration that people may be trying to sleep in their vehicles. As of my stay, camping was prohibited on the grass due to a drought, so tent camping was out. But it was free with a two-night stay maximum, and some trees even provide shade!

Riverside Park
Not bad for a Free spot in Town
Arrived and was the only camper there until after dark. Gravel parking lot with access to the river, but in a built-up part of town. Restrooms were clean, but we're apparently locked at some point at night as I couldn't access it in the morning. I think homeless folks may go there for showers, etc.

Good stay
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.

Get what you pay for
 The women’s bathroom was very dirty the evening we arrived. It was cleaned the following morning trains all night, and next to a busy road. Right on the north Platte River Park is clean worked for what we need it.

Wheatland Reservoir #1 - Public Access Area
Peaceful
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.

Nice spot by the river
It’s next to a small town so you can hear traffic. There are signs saying not to camp on the grass, which is the only spot to put a tent. If you don’t have a tent then they have nice picnic spots, bathrooms and showers that are free.

Nice
Is a decent place to stay. Downside is that it's a 5 day limit but atleast its free. We stayed during the Labor day weekend and wasn't too bad. Someone even had a personal Helicopter which was cool to watch. Water isn't clear but it was still nice to swim in during the heat.

Wheatland Reservoir #1 - Public Access Area
Absolutely beautiful
I was here last year in late July. The water level is much higher right now so there is less land to camp on, but there are still spots. It is mostly quiet, the reservoir is beautiful and the sun rises and sunsets are gorgeous

Great free campground
Beautiful place, real authorized camping there. Nice view on the reservoir, however pretty popular among locals so don’t expect to be alone there.

Wheatland Reservoir #1 - Public Access Area
Dry camping on the shore.
Has trees and the road around the reservoir is gravel but not bad. The water level is low so muddy walking out to the shore. Beautiful! Windy some of the time. Only a few campers. Loved it!

Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access
Awesome reservoir! Beautiful location. Careful with dogs.
Free public access camping. Many spots right on the water. Great boat launches. Arrive Thursday or Friday AM to get a decent spot.
Sites are all boondocking only although access 8 with the boat launch does have a pit toilet.
If you bring your dog be aware the are has tons of foxtail growing which can be dangerous for dogs.
