5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin accommodations are available in the Laramie area, offering varying levels of amenities and rustic experiences. Curt Gowdy State Park Campground features log cabins near Hynds Lodge with modern restroom facilities. Wood Landing Campground provides small log cabins situated on the Laramie River with common facilities and proximity to fishing spots. Laramie RV Resort offers cabin rentals as an alternative to tent camping, with air conditioning and mini-fridges included. Little Cabin With a View provides a more secluded experience with drinking water, picnic tables, and toilet facilities. "The cabin can hold up to 90 people and sleep 20. The great hall has a built-in stone fireplace along with three couches. The kitchen includes a gas stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, sink, cupboards and counter space."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Basic cabins typically provide beds, tables, and fire pits but require guests to bring their own bedding and cooking supplies. More equipped options include electricity, heating, and kitchen amenities. Most cabins near Laramie are pet-friendly but may require additional fees and adherence to pet policies. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. A visitor commented, "The cabins have a porch swing, private table, parking, and a partial privacy fence." Cabin rates vary significantly based on amenities, with prices typically ranging from $80-150 per night depending on size and features.
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries even when beds are provided. Kitchen facilities vary widely between locations—some include refrigerators, microwaves and stoves while others offer only basic amenities. On-site camp stores at larger establishments like Curt Gowdy State Park provide firewood, snacks, and basic supplies. For more extensive grocery needs, Laramie's shopping areas are typically within 25 miles of most cabin locations. Cooking equipment, eating utensils, and cleaning supplies are rarely provided. "You will need to bring your own utensils and cookware, bedding and linens, as well as your own firewood," noted one review of the accommodations at Hynds Lodge.

from $40 / night
"We were shocked at the availability of spaces given that Colorado is notoriously booked up by February. Our space was The Overlook and it had an amazing view."
"They had cabins, condos, lodges, and camp spots so every guest had a place to stay the night. When you pull around the corner and into the valley it takes your breath away every single time."
"Pet friendly. Laundry room, showers, market available. A steakhouse right next door. Definitely would stick to chain restaurants if you’re wanting a steak though. Or any food for that matter."
"Full hookups, pull-ins, picnic tables, and the water pipes are protected against low temperatures. They offer air for your tires and have propane available for purchase."
from $20 - $100 / night
"We were allowed to trade two nights of tent camping for one night in a cabin to try to avoid a storm. Cabins have a porch swing, private table, parking, and a partial privacy fence."
"The only 2 negatives are, you are between hwy 25 and train tracks and there are no fire pits for the RV section. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars."
"Downside is the train tracks are close by. Not a problem though, it is a no train horn area. Nice RV spots with water and electric. Sewer dump on property as well."
"Did loose power about midnight. Same to neighbors power. Both our power protectors said reverse polarity. 25 minutes later power came back on.??? Was good night stay with daughter and two grandsons."
"Charcuterie boards available upon request! This ranch is the perfect space to relax. A horseback riding stable is less than 20 minutes away. Hosts are onsite and available if you need anything."
"Peaceful, open area, minimal sites with good views and also had some horse petting time."
from $55 - $58 / night
"From Chambers Lake north down FS 103 youll find a lot of dispersed camping and a lot of great spots with beautiful views."
"There is a camp ground near by with a porta-potty and there is a small market about 10-20 miles away."
ScoutTop tier glamping resort on the river with an awesome beach and swimming hole, live music on proeprty, grab and go lunch, and the nicest staff I've ever met! 10/10 would come back here. Great place to bring the dogs and kid
ScoutGot a nice little 2 bed cabin at a decent rate. Also right across from the river and owner was nice.
TravelerWe stayed at the Sherman hills camp grounds, and woke up to a beautiful morning view of the water. We had close encounters with beautiful deer and friendly wildlife (chipmunk!!). This place is worth the money and we will be coming here again 10/10!!!
GuideThe drive thru part of site is packed which is nice, the rest of it is round peak size river rock which looks nice but a bear to walk in
Your in a fairly good size city so everything is available for a drive.
ScoutA little tired, but our site (SD34) was clean and had excellent table, chairs and grill. It was a fine overnight stop.
When booking online, there was an added $20 “booking fee” and a $3 “convenience fee.” It is misleading and seems shady to add these at the end of the booking process. We will be cautious about booking RJourney locations in the future.
TravelerWe just stopped for one night. The bathrooms and showers are nice. We walked our dogs around the property and enjoyed all of the animals.
TravelerSite is near the reservoir, which is a nice location. Mostly no shade. Bring your paddle boards or kayaks! Lots of flowers including cactus in bloom.
RangerStopped here for an overnight only. Had no reservation but they had space available with full hook ups. Looks like every space is pull thru. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It's a previously KOA site, so infrastructure is in place. Two.sections, the original and a larger new section with more space between sites. See pictures. Bathroom clean but in need of updating. Wifi available and works well. AT&T cell service 3 bars LTE inside camper but 2 bars 5G outside.
ScoutLooked good on their website. So I booked online for $58, they add $20 booking fee and a $2.57 convenience fee and taxes it’s now $88. Get there and it’s a gravel and dirt lot. Lots of long term campers some of those haven’t moved in a long time. One of them had a dog fence around it and 6 dogs that bark and try to get over the fence when you walk by. Chcked out the bathroom but the door was broken and could only open it a few inches. The WiFi was so weak it was useless. Called the office but they weren’t interested in the issues. $88 is a ripoff for this place!
Cabin accommodations near Laramie, Wyoming provide convenient lodging at elevations ranging from 7,200 to 9,000 feet. The region experiences distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during day and dropping to 45-55°F at night. Winter cabin stays require preparation for temperatures that can drop well below freezing with significant snowfall possible from October through April.
Fishing access: Water attractions at Curt Gowdy State Park Campground offer excellent angling. "We camped right in the water, it was beautiful! If I had to say anything bad it would be that for a tent site there wasn't any grassy area to put my tent, most every spot had a lot of gravel which was unfortunate," notes Ashley M., highlighting the lake-adjacent sites. The park includes both Crystal Reservoir and Granite Springs Reservoir with trout fishing opportunities.
Mountain biking: Trail networks provide varying difficulty levels. The park maintains over 35 miles of purpose-built mountain biking trails designated by skill level from beginner to advanced. "We hiked several trails and saw lots of fishing spots—definitely a great stop for anyone who loves outdoor activities," reports Fred E. about the multi-use path system.
Wildlife viewing: The region hosts numerous species to observe. Early mornings and evenings offer the best chances to spot pronghorn, mule deer, and various bird species. At Colorado Cabin Escape and RV Park, guests mention opportunities for "horse petting time" and seeing "horses and pronghorn" as "perfect, quiet neighbors" according to Beth W.
Direct water access: Lakefront cabins provide scenic views. At Curt Gowdy, Michelle H. describes how "having no neighbors and private lake access was fantastic" at Crystal Loop site C167, though she notes "the access to the water here was also very steep" and suggests "moving to the campsites further up the road."
Cabin variety: Options range from rustic to more equipped structures. The Little Cabin With a View gets praise for its setting. "The views are awesome and the cabin is very cozy. The host (Linda) is truly an angel and goes out of her way to make everything great," writes Jeff M., also noting nearby "river access very close" and opportunities for "a razor ride up Jelm mountain."
Peaceful settings: Some cabins offer seclusion from busy campgrounds. Campers appreciate quieter locations away from main roads. At Colorado Cabin Escape, a reviewer describes it as "an open area, i.e., no shade and it's simple boondocking (which we like). Peaceful, open area, minimal sites with good views."
Reservation requirements: Plan well ahead during peak seasons. At Curt Gowdy, Jordan R. advises, "Don't expect to drive in and get a spot. Super busy, their reservation system is all messed up, camp host can't even tell you if any spot is open so you'll have to drive around using their map. Book ahead if you want to stay here."
Weather considerations: High elevation means temperature swings. The region's elevation results in significant day-to-night temperature drops, even in summer. "It was a little windy during our stay, but that's expected in this area," notes Fred E. about conditions at Curt Gowdy.
Site access logistics: Some locations have challenging navigation. Elizabeth G. warns about Curt Gowdy: "Our site was very difficult to find in the dark when we arrived. The map was very confusing and so were the road signs. After 20 minutes or so of driving all around the lake with no luck in finding our campsite, we were almost about to give up and just pick a random one."
Activities beyond hiking: Seek cabins with extra attractions. Terry Bison Ranch offers unique experiences beyond standard camping. "Took the feed the bison train ride. Which was totally fun," reports Yolanda L. The ranch provides educational opportunities with livestock interactions.
Meal planning: Kitchen facilities vary significantly between cabins. Some locations provide cooking equipment while others require bringing your own. James R. notes Terry Bison Ranch has a "Camp store has good supply of drinks, clothes and souvenirs. Cafe was closed but did look good. Ate at Senators Steakhouse and had buffet, including beef prime rib, bison ribs and bison burgers."
Water safety: Lakes have specific regulations. Jordan R. mentions that Curt Gowdy is "posted all over that there is no swimming at all," important information for families planning water activities. Focus instead on fishing, boating, or shoreline exploration as alternatives to swimming.
Site selection: Research specific locations before booking. At Wood Landing Campground, Rich D. details that "It has log cabins with common facilities and 5 available water/30 amp electric and a dump station. The sites are small but the location is feet from fine trout fishing and a good restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday."
Internet connectivity: Plan for limited service. Most cabins have minimal or no WiFi. At Laramie RV Resort, L H. notes, "WiFi available but it's not strong enough for much," a common situation at cabin locations throughout the region.
Seasonal availability: Not all cabins operate year-round. While some locations close during winter months, others remain accessible with varying amenities. Tony D. describes Laramie RV Resort as having "Hot showers, bathroom are clean. 30 amp hook up and water. We were good to go—not the Taj Mahal but it served our needs. Level parking area."
