"Douglas, Wyoming that is. They claim the original “discovery” of the Jackalope and everyone else just followed suit."
"It also has a cute walk-up coffee shop which we unfortunately didn’t get to take advantage of. Looks like a great stopover if you’re hauling horses!"
"Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00."
"When you get to the complex drive past the vault toilets and initial picnic area. You'll see 5-6 campsites with concrete beds, picnic tables and grills."

Home of the Jackalope! Douglas, Wyoming that is. They claim the original “discovery” of the Jackalope and everyone else just followed suit. There is a Jackalope silhouette outside of town on a hill, there are Jackalope lick Nessie’s throughout town and there is a Jackalope Square that has Farmers Market on Saturday’s that has a huge statute of said Jackalope.
The KOA is a larger one and more so like a parking lot then anything else. The staff were awesome! Very friendly and informative.
A few things of note, the trash receptacles are placed throughout the campground which is nice. The dog park is a bigger one and there were actually locations for horses.
Not much shade AT ALL, and the wind whip’s through a lot. I was informed though that’s a Wyoming thing anyway.
Miniature golf, swimming pool and camp kitchen as expected. The WIFI , I’m sorry to say, sucks and is not private. I’ve noticed in my travels though that NONE of the KOA’s have very good WIFI.
I was fortunate and got an end site, near the office/shower (clean w/short shower heads and counters)and I had shade. A few days before I arrived in early September it had already snowed and the temperature had dropped into the 20’s. It was in the 50’s my first day and is a comfortable 75 today with a lite breeze.
Douglas has some interesting history and historical sites nearby so it’s worth a visit if your exploring the old west or just driving through. Make sure you keep your gas above 1/2, the highways are a long way between gas stations and the speed limits are usually 70-80 MPH.
GuideThis is a well cared for park and a great place to spend the night. Easy in/ easy out with a big rig. It also has a cute walk-up coffee shop which we unfortunately didn’t get to take advantage of. Looks like a great stopover if you’re hauling horses!
LegendWhether you need a place to park for the night or for the week this is a good choice. There are a few down falls like no trees big enough to give you shade making it really hot. It is full hook ups with cable and WiFi. There is a dog run, mini golf, and pool. There weren’t as many campers this year and staff thought maybe because the high gas prices and that Yellowstone flooded might be the cause. The staff was really friendly. In the shop I was impressed that they supported local business. There’s also free internet and computer to use as well as a free coffee bar in the shop. Found out that it’s under new ownership and they’ve decided not to have horse ring and pens anymore. There are a few cabins and tent areas. You can hear a bunch of traffic noise. Otherwise it’s a nice park
RangerNice little campground. Some water spigots around, a couple dumpsters, a vault bathroom. It’s fairly close to I-25, but wasn’t bad from 9:30-6:00.
ScoutWe were too tired to make it to our next stop, saw this KOA on the side of the highway so it was perfect for what we needed.
RangerI stayed here for 4 nights while waiting on a package to arrive in Casper. I really enjoyed my stay. It has the vibes of a paid campground - only free. When you get to the complex drive past the vault toilets and initial picnic area. You'll see 5-6 campsites with concrete beds, picnic tables and grills. There is some road noise, but worth it for a convenient location. There is a 5 day limit. I'd definitely return.

TravelerCheck out at 11 and they close bathrooms 10 to 12, not smart since u have tent sites and they need a bathroom. Tent spots were nice with grass. No fire pits! Overall fine.
GuideWe have never been letdown with KOA sites. Always friendly staff and quiet parks.
TravelerAlthough it was affordable for our 25 foot 5er, we barely fit in our assigned spot length wise. We parked the truck beside the camper which took up most of the outdoor space. The water tastes a bit funny even after our filter system. We stayed twice, coming and going so not a horrible place but also not a destination campground.
