Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Hanna, WY

Like the other KOAs in this area, this is certainly not a destination campground. It is however great for an overnight stay and convenient for checking out all the tourist attractions in the area.

They have a nice pavilion, dog park, laundry and the spaces are nice.

Staff was very nice, very friendly and they had little treats when you check in!

We showed up after the office closed, but they had a map out for us to find our spot. It was easy to pull in and hookup our trailer. The sites are really clean, and they take pride in their sites here. There’s a little playground for the kids and dog park for the kids. The sites are goons need some leveling for your trailer, just FYI. You’re also really close to the highway so you get a good amount of noise early in the morning.

We stayed here for a night with our dog while passing through Wyoming. The area is BEAUTIFUL. Lots of wildlife and scenic views. Bathrooms were clean and conveniently scattered throughout the sites. Easy to find if you just follow the signs for camping! We made it back pretty far in our all wheel drive lower clearance Subaru. LOTS of mosquitoes though, so make sure to bring bug spray or cover up!

This place is down a long dirt ride through private property so be kind and mind the hours. When you get to the end, take the right fork and you’ll find two, rather close together, camping areas. When nobody is here it’s wonderful - right next to a creek, dogs can run around, and it is so very quiet and secluded. If I’m ever in Wyoming I’ll head back to this little spot.

There’s also a boat ramp, and I imagine if you fish, the creek would be a nice little spot to fish.

WY BLM Campground Nestled near Sinclair, Wyoming, the BLM campground offers a tranquil escape with five sites, including a convenient pull-through option. Situated at Exit 219 on I-80, follow signs towards Seminoe State Park on CR 351. The campground is roughly 6 miles from the interstate(N 41.86077 W 107.05328) and accessible even for small cars, even in rainy conditions. 

While there's no drinking water available, the free campsites are worth the slightly bumpy road. The area is dog-friendly, perfect for those traveling with their furry companions. Basic amenities include scattered picnic tables and a pit toilet deep within the camp. No cell service (Verizon). 

Be prepared for mosquitos, but the serene and picturesque surroundings more than compensate. For those seeking a nature-focused experience, this spot is ideal. Consider it a playground of natural beauty. Restrooms are limited to the pit toilet, and picnicking is a joy with tables dotted throughout the area. Despite the insect presence, this campground offers a peaceful haven, making it an excellent choice for tent camping enthusiasts.

Not much happening in or around Rawlins but a great campground for a pit stop. Nice dog play areas, playground and mini golf for kids, laundry and all RV sites are pull through. Gravel parking lot is level, no shade, and the area can be extremely windy with 45+ mph winds.

We had a nice spot with shelter. A lot of spots are hard to level a RV on so chose one you can level your rig on. No hookups, no potable water available. Vault tiolets in numerous places. Dogs ok but have to be leashed. Kids enjoyed hiking Dinosaur Trail and exploring. Lots if fishing spots. Very scenic. $10 a night, pay kiosk.

If you like camping, rafting, and fishing, then this is the perfect site! We've gone back year after year and it never disappoints. Each site has a picnic table, a fire pit, and a drive way that can squeeze 2 cars and trailers if they aren't huge. You have to find flat ground to set your tent on, but it exists. We love that there is a boat ramp right on site so we can push off from there and go as far as we want. There is some firewood, but bring an axe to break it down. Each pit has a grilling platform which makes it easy to grill out. Freshwater can be filled at the gas station in town for free. They are super nice and make sure to purchase something from there at least once during the trip. Dogs are allowed but most people don't have theirs on a leash, so be aware if you dog is one that may not get along with others well. The bathrooms are a toilet over a hole in the ground. Bring extra TP just in case. There are some great hiking areas around as well, just be aware of bears, mountain lions, and moose. Absolutely love this site; can't wait to go back this summer.

Verizon speed 33 d/l 22 u/l. Have games like horseshoe, mini golf, dog area. They even have a Suburban courtesy vehicle to get around town. Didn't use it so don't know the details, just cool they had the option.

Walmart, McDonald's, Taco Bell less than 10 minutes away (downtown). We stayed an extra night due to high winds causing the I80 East towards Cheyenne to close. Had no problems, hosts were kind and accommodating. FYI, they're closing for the season 10/15/20 so double check before coming.

Had several options of hookups and slightly cheaper than the RV park nearby.

Railroad and freeway nearby so expect a bit of noise.

I would have rated this CG 4 stars, if it weren’t for the rattlesnakes. We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and needed a place to boondock over the 4th weekend and this place fit the bill nicely. We stayed in the first site(site 5, go figure) on the loop for 7 days in early July. There are only 5 formal sites and one group site, but there are a few other informal sites to be had as well just outside the CG. The sites are gravel and all looked“fairly” level. We managed to just get level. Site 5 is a very long site and there are some fairly large potholes at the front of the site, but the backend is smooth. The sites are spaced about 100 yards or so apart, give or take depending on location. The grounds are all open sagebrush and there are a lot of rattlesnakes in the area - we saw four. Terri had a close encounter with one on the side of the road and 2 days later our dog was bitten right on the side of the road also and had to stay two nights at the vet in Rawlins, so be aware and careful. The mosquitos can be pretty bad in the mornings and evenings, but not too bad with the breeze/wind during the day. The biting flies can be an issue any time of day. Lemon Eucalyptus seemed to be pretty effective at keeping both at bay most times. However, the gnats are small enough to make it through our screens and our Katchy pad was full every morning. The ants were also rather pesty when sitting outside. As others have mentioned, we have seen deer, bald eagles, ducks, pelicans and heard a band of coyotes that came rather close to camp one night. AT&T coverage is a spotty in this area without a booster, typically only 1-2 Bars of 3G service and up to 0.05 MB/s. With our weboost we were able to get 3-4 bars of LTE, with speeds up to 0.5 MB/s. T-Mobile had 4 bars of 4G service, with speeds up to 1.5 MB/s. It was probably LTE, but our Solis X hotspot only delivers 4G. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were no OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna. 

There is a dirt road that goes past the CG, and looking at Google Maps (satellite), there appears to be dispersed camping along the river down there, but this is apparently private property with a locked gate barring entrance, at least while we were here. Some the locals/owners were camped there over the holiday weekend and got rather loud at times, firing guns and riding their ATVs back and forth on that road well into the night. The other nights were quiet. Also, one of their dogs, a white Husky mix, wandered all the way from their camp into ours and right up to our RV, and though probably friendly otherwise, nearly had an altercation with our dog.

This wooded campground has a very narrow season. Gravel roads (starting at Albany) were snowed in 4 miles out in late May 2019, While there are gendered vault toilets (TP stocked), bring your own water for cooking and cleaning. This fact alone makes it better for RVs than tent campers like us. There are loads of sites, well spaced with fire rings and picnic tables. We got rain and small hail on the 3rd weekend in July and it got to 40 F or below overnight. Deer, chipmunks, and a bald eagle were spotted. There were mosquitoes. There is a boat ramp into the reservoir. Heavily ATV traffic. Dog friendly but must be on leash. Gunfire noted early and late across reservoir. With proper prior planning, you will probably have a pleasant experience.

Stopped to cook dinner and camp while on the way home from Ft Collins. This site was a very pleasant surprise. We parked on the far camp site by the reservoir, with no one but ourselves and the stars, and maybe a few coyotes in the distance. I expected it to be busy because it’s the thick of hunting season, but even if it was there are plenty of nice, big sites with fire rings and some even have grills. Two vault toilets as well and a small boat ramp.

Built a small fire but made sure it was dead out before bed, which was especially fortunate because the wind whipped up something fierce overnight. If you’ve even been on the nearby section of 80 you know how strong those winds can be. Don’t leave anything out overnight either; we’re lucky we still had our chairs and dog water bowl in the morning.

Great site and we will definitely stay again. Maybe you’ll see us there!

Before I moved from Wyoming, I spent most weekends there from the time the snow melted. I things have changed some but my family still spends all summer and fall up there. There are no services but it's a wonderful place to stay.

Such a great way to escape into a picturesque Wyoming. The drive from Laramie, closest populated area, into the Snowy Range and a windy road back into the campground was awesome.

Beautiful area of Wyoming. The campground is clean and remote, but busy. There was a lot of beetle kill removal work going on when I was there, but I think that has slowed down some.  Nice trails close by and the lake is lovely.

Not a place to spend a long stay, but very good for an overnight. Inexpensive and close to I 80. Clean tiled restroom. Sites are gravel and not very spacious. Very little vegetation but that is true of most of Wyoming; at least I was able to find all Dish satellites! 😁

Decent campground far away from town. There are a limited number of sites but it is FREE!  Only downside is that is super windy there!  I felt like I was going to blow away, even with the wind barrier that’s at each site.

Not much to do here but a nice place to stay on your way through Wyoming.

Gorgeous free camping right alongside a small resevoir, nestled in a vast Wyoming landscape. 5 pull up campsite, with a few other pull off spots around the resevoir. Only two other campers there. tons of space and very relaxing. picnic tables, and two super clean vault toilets. windy but we slept in our subaru so it was great to get a breeze at night. highly recommended if looking for a free place to sleep for the night and soak in the big views.
