    Red Desert Rose Campground

    Oasis in Wyoming

    This campground is an oasis! The bathrooms are absolutely spotless, beautiful, and actually inviting. The laundry is perfectly clean with all the niceties of home. The new manager is doing an awesome job! We recommend to anyone, including families with children. If you want to stay in or near Rawlins, book this campground!

    Oil Road to the Mines Dispersed Site

    Great Boondocking spot

    It’s flat, quiet and peaceful. There was some trash when we arrived so we made sure to leave it cleaner than we found it. Minimal noise from Hwy! A great way to save some cash with tons of space. Bonus saw an antelope this morning about 100 yards from camp.

    Canyon Overlook Dispersed

    Not open

    Drive out here and the land seems to have become private property and is no longer able to be driven. We had to go ways past it to find somewhere to camp.

    Dugway Campground

    Good place to rest after long drive

    Easy find in day light drove in with class A and toad has water hand pump but has threads for a garden hose you have to supply yourself. pit toilets extra clean with lite at nite. Nice and level sites along the river. Can’t beat this place with a stick for being free access. 5 sites . Stayed 3 nites

    Deer Haven RV Park

    Small and wonderful

    We stated this campsite for a month, we were having trouble finding somewhere last minute and Jeff got us in for a great price! It's a smaller park which we love, there are quite a few full-time tenants here. It is RIGHT on the north Platte river, so you don't have to go far for fishing or paddle boarding. There are no bathrooms or showers on site so your rig must be fully self-contained, which wasn't a problem for us but thought it was worth mentioning. We would definitely stay here again! Adding it to our list of favorites. It's also only 4 minutes away from hobo Hot springs. And there is a wonderful ice cream shop downtown that makes their own ice cream it's delightful

    FS RD 103 Dispersed

    Great spot, particularly if you have 4WD

    There are various types of spot to camp along this road. I saw a handful of campers on the main fire road, but then as I drove further down, I saw offshoot that only four-wheel-drive vehicles could get to which is where I went. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, I highly recommend searching for one of those off shoots for the privacy and nice camping spot.

    Western Hills Campground

    Bathroom is worth the price

    A little pricey at $60 but the cleanliness of the bathroom/showers was worth it. The laundry area was great. Yes it's a great big gravel parking lot but it's actually very nice.

    Foote Public Access Area Dispersed

    Very small

    Definitely only room for maybe 2

    The app was also showing at least some bars for Verizon but it’s definitely SOS land

    Had to turn around. Looks nice if you’re lucky enough to get a spot

    Western Hills Campground

    Excellent stop

    The Western Hills Campground was a nice stop on I 80. Rollins is a cute little town with many different services. The campground staff were incredibly nice and our parking spot was level. We had full hook ups, all of which worked well. The showers and restrooms were cleanand we did not use the laundry, but there was one.
