Best Equestrian Camping near Glenrock, WY

Horse camping near Glenrock, Wyoming provides limited equestrian accommodations with Douglas KOA as the primary option for travelers with horses. Located 26 miles east of Glenrock on Highway 91, Douglas KOA historically offered horse pens but reviews indicate these facilities have been discontinued under new ownership. The campground features full hookup RV sites, tent areas, and cabins with amenities including showers, a swimming pool, and a dog park. Campsites are arranged in an open layout with limited shade trees. The KOA has clean bathrooms, though tent campers should note they close between 10am and noon during checkout times.

The surrounding area offers access to riding opportunities on public lands, though specific equestrian trails are not designated within immediate proximity to Glenrock. Nearby South Recreation Complex provides free camping with vault toilets and water spigots but does not have dedicated horse facilities. Platte River RV and Campground offers river access and hookups but similarly lacks equestrian amenities. The terrain throughout the region consists primarily of open prairie and rolling hills characteristic of eastern Wyoming landscapes. Riders planning extended stays should contact local land management agencies for information on backcountry riding regulations, as most established campgrounds in the immediate Glenrock area have limited or no specialized equestrian infrastructure.

    "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!"

    Douglas KOA

    Jackalope Capital

    Douglas KOA

    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.

    Nice KOA

    This 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!

    Home if the Jackolope & Everything you could need

    Whether 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

    Glenrock South Recreation Complex

    Good. Free. Easy access

    Nice 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.

    Wide open spaces but not a whole lot of shade. Super nice staff and it’s pretty quiet.

    We 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.

    Glenrock South Recreation Complex

    Great Creekside Camping

    I 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.

    Platte River RV and Campground

    uninspiring patch of land

    What I LIKED: The little dog park and there's also river access, adding a touch of nature's charm to the experience. 

    What I DIDN’T like: Mostly everything else… from what I’ve been gathering, they put their long-term stays in worse sites which seems strange? RV sites are extremely small. Whoever was in charge of the website's marketing did a bang-up job, because let me tell you, the reality is a far cry from those picture-perfect images. 

    This campground, is nothing more than a flat, uninspiring patch of land that will transform into a mud pit at the first sight of rain. Shade? Forget about it. You'd be luckier finding a needle in a haystack than a sliver of shade here. And good luck tracking down any staff – it's like they've perfected the art of hide and seek. The office "closed" sign is practically a permanent fixture. So, if you're in the middle of a long-term stay and something goes awry– you're pretty much on your own.
