Best RV Parks & Resorts near Laramie, WY

OK, to be fair I've aged into travel trailer camping. My expectations may be skewed by my prior camping experiences. First and foremost, Curt Gowdy is amazing! Drove by Happy Jack road at least 100 times without realizing the gem of Curt Gowdy. Being new to the travel trailer community but an experienced pack camper, I book stays with our trailer that gives a hint of the views you can acquire when pack camping. I choose my site poorly. Nothing wrong with JH-09. In fact, after exploring Gowdy, few sites offer level parking, so be prepared to level up! This being said, look for sites in the North or South causeway loops or sites at Crystal Reservoir, as long as you don't mind dry camping. The lake and the hikes appear to be incredible. I did the Hidden Falls hike via Crow at 7:30 am on a Tuesday in September and was unaccompanied the entire hike, with the exception being a ranger maintaining a pristine trail near the end of the hike. This is rated as moderate, but if you hike at all, it is easy. Four miles total from the site, moderate grades, and incredible scenery. Gowdy is a gem, and it is up to you to make it fit your adventure because the opportunities are boundless.

We stayed at Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney for 6 nights while we worked remotely and needed a stable spot for the week. The park was very straightforward all sites were pull-through, which made setup and departure easy.There was a decent amount of space to walk our dog around the perimeter of the park, and while there's a small off-leash dog run, we appreciated the multiple poop bag stations throughout. We were able to receive a couple of Amazon deliveries without issue, which was a big plus.We didnt really interact much with the staff, so cant speak to that part. The showers were a bit tight but were clean and heated a nice touch. Theres also a gas station just down the road for any quick essentials.Overall, it was a solid and easy stay. Nothing fancy, but also nothing to complain about. We'd stay again if we pass through Cheyenne.

We stayed at The Laramie KOA in August 2021. This is a FHU RV Park which offers a variety of sites including premium extra large pull-thru sites. We opted to save the added expense of the premium sites and stayed at a regular pull thru-site. These sites are very close together which was difficult to negotiate into with our fifth wheel. The sites are so close together that I had my neighbors sewer hose directly in front of my camp chair between my legs. 😳👎🏻 Next time we will opt for a premium site because this is a very nice, well maintained KOA with an excellent staff. There is a nice dog run here and lots of green space to walk dogs. We were able to receive mail here, also. All in all, we would recommend this park and enjoyed our stay here.

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.

We visited Curt Gowdy when multiple fires were burning nearby, so all our pictures are tainted with smoke. This facility offers campers two lakes and several different types of sites. Some are full hook-up and others are no hook-up. We had the latter, but were so happy with our spot. The park is primarily composed of dirt roads. There are so many different types of sites, from those with several trees, lake side, open, or group spots. Water is available for filling bottles, but not campers. No dump stations are open here, but Wyoming has dump stations at its rest stops along the interstates/highways for free. Cell service is unavailable away from the beautiful visitors center. Our campsite sat by itself, on a ridge next to the furthest away lake. It was beautiful and a worn trail at the campsite ended at the water's edge where we could store our kayak in the trees for the weekend. A small beach allowed for chairs to be set up at this spot as well. The lake offers fishing and kayaking. The real draw, though, is the IMBA mountain biking trail system that weaves throughout the park. The trails are well-marked and maps are easy to follow. Hiking is abundant as well. This park sits near Medicine Bow National Forest and has similar typography with awesome rocks, evergreens, aspen and creeks. Hiking is a pleasure in this environment. Our campsite was pull-through with a fire pit and table. There was a fire ban (for obvious reasons) during our September visit.

We loved this spot! We stayed 5 nights the week before Memorial Day - rolled in on a Sunday afternoon and were fortunate to find a lovely first-come-first-serve spot right on Crystal Reservoir with access to the water right there at camp. We have a small camper trailer and our pull-through site was spacious and level with plenty of sun and shade. Word of warning: by Tuesday, locals were starting to "hold" the first-come-first-serve spots for the upcoming holiday weekend. We lucked out by getting there at the end of a very cold and wet weekend where we had our pick of sites around both reservoirs. I recommend reservations if you plan on visiting during peak season/dates.

The mountain biking trails at this park are SO MUCH FUN!! There are trails for all skill levels that are accessible from just about every campsite in the park. The Stone Temple Circuit trail was by far our favorite - it's an intermediate trail with A and B options around features that allow you and your partner to tailor your shared ride to you exact experience levels. Recommend starting with this trail as it provides a nice overview of what the other trails have to offer.

If you plan on boating or kayaking, read up on the rules and regulations first. No swimming as the water is too cold and swimmers are at risk for hypothermia.

All-in-all, we had a great stay and look forward to our next visit.

One last thing...watch out for ticks and snakes! Happy Camping, Campers!!

$20/night cash or check for off season first come first serve. You can reserve and pay electronically “on” season. I got an rv spot (last in upper loop) but a few tent spots open while searching. Also a few more spots opened in lower loop as I was unloading. Came to check out new rock climbing routes. Before the “season” here starts. Spaces are spaced nicely. Bear signs posted so be mindful of food and trash left out. It is Wyoming so very windy but sunny.

The cliffs and rocks here are lovely and there are some hiking trails. The campsites are pretty open and since there aren’t too many trees the tents seem really close together. Great views though so you don’t feel penned into some trees like at some camp sites. Not too far from Laramie or Cheyenne (or the Lone Tree) and a good place to stay for a few days if you’re exploring the Medicine Bow.

Glen Echo is an exceptional one-stop Poudre Canyon camping experience.   While they do offer large and small cabins, long and short term RV spots, we tent camped for two nights on two different riverside sites - numbers 1 and 6 - and both were awesome!  Both spots offered amazing rushing water views, a nice mixture of sun and shade, picnic tables, and fire rings.  One of the spots - site 1 - had electric hook-up.  Aside from the great tent sites, they have on-site a general store/market, fuel, a liquor store and restaurant/cafe, which made life super convenient because it's located about mid-way through Poudre Canyon and there's not a lot out there.  Also, clean showers, which was a nice surprise.  Cannot recommend this chill camping destination enough!

Since being at this park there has been issue after issue.

This is a crappy RV Park with run down campers , and trashed areas. The front office makes this place worst. They have daily attitudes and will make up rules and say you are out of compliance even though those rules are not documented on any piece of paper signed. Nor does the piece of paper we have signed state that the rules are subject to changes at their discretion.

They do this to kick people out!!

We have no trash around our RV, we have Kept everything nice and neat and we do not have an older model RV but because we have a tarp on the top due to a leak we were told to remove it or leave.

Mind you having a tarp is not a rule on the papers we signed and were provided. Nor does the paper we sign say that the rules are subject to change at their discretion at any time.

There are RV with trash and misc item scattered all throughout their small lawn area but the front office haven’t said a word to them about that.

There are RV that have their windows open and they are PACKED FULL of junk and trash that you can clearly see. But to them that is not an issue. A tarp is.

Beautiful family campground. Sites are grouped together and sites for RVs around the lake hot days for a hike around the mountains sides or a bike trails climbing rocks and walking to hidden falls for a swim

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.
