Douglas KOA offers several accommodation options for travelers exploring eastern Wyoming. Located off Interstate 25, the campground provides RV sites, tent camping areas with grass, and cabin rentals. The facilities include a swimming pool, mini golf, and a dog run for guests traveling with pets. Visitors can access water throughout the property, with shower and restroom facilities available during operational hours.
What to do
Explore Jackalope history: Douglas is known as the Jackalope Capital, featuring various jackalope-themed attractions. "Douglas, Wyoming claims 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 statues throughout town and there is a Jackalope Square that has Farmers Market on Saturday's that has a huge statute of said Jackalope," notes a reviewer at Douglas KOA.
Visit historical sites: The Douglas area contains several historical attractions worth exploring. "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," shares one camper. These sites provide context about Wyoming's frontier heritage and development.
Enjoy on-site recreation: The campground offers recreational activities for families. "This KOA Has putt putt golf for $2, activities, a tennis court, basketball and swimming," writes a visitor. These amenities provide entertainment options without leaving the property, especially valuable during hot summer days.
What campers like
Coffee and s'mores options: Unique food amenities enhance the camping experience. "Also something extra is a s'more shack and coffee cabin," mentions a visitor. Another notes, "It also has a cute walk-up coffee shop which we unfortunately didn't get to take advantage of." These special touches distinguish the campground from basic facilities.
Creekside camping: At Glenrock South Recreation Complex, visitors appreciate the natural water features. "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," explains one camper who enjoyed the creekside setting.
Friendly staff: Campground personnel receive consistently positive mentions. "Great staff, we were taken to our site by a staff member and assured that if there was anything we didn't like, we could change," writes one visitor. Another adds, "The staff were awesome! Very friendly and informative."
What you should know
Bathroom access limitations: Plan accordingly for bathroom facility schedules. "Check out at 11 and they close bathrooms 10 to 12, not smart since u have tent sites and they need a bathroom," notes one camper. This two-hour cleaning window impacts those without self-contained facilities.
Limited shade coverage: The exposed Wyoming landscape means minimal natural protection from the sun. "No shade AT ALL, and the wind whip's through a lot. I was informed though that's a Wyoming thing anyway," explains a visitor. This exposure makes adequate sun protection essential during summer months.
Water quality considerations: Some visitors note water quality issues at certain locations. "The water tastes a bit funny even after our filter system," reports one camper. Consider bringing additional drinking water if sensitive to taste variations.
Tips for camping with families
Quiet environment for anxious pets: The relative isolation provides benefits for animals sensitive to noise. "It was quiet, even for a holiday, and the fireworks were a couple miles away, so we could see them but not hear them. A plus for our super anxious pup who doesn't like thunder or fireworks!" shares one family at Douglas KOA.
