What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access, campers can enjoy lakeside fishing with many spots directly on the water. "We found a spot right on the lakeside which was secluded from everyone," notes one camper, who adds a practical warning: "Be advised as of June 2025 no fires are permitted. Bring propane gas cookers, or cook in your camper/RV."
Historical exploration: Fort Laramie National Historic Site is located just 10 miles from Pony Soldier RV Park. The park itself features "a history museum on the property," according to one reviewer. For Oregon Trail enthusiasts, Register Cliff historical site is accessible within a 20-minute drive.
Golfing access: Larson Park Campground connects directly to the Guernsey golf course. A reviewer notes it's perfect "if you like to golf" and mentions the convenient location near multiple historical sites: "A must see is the Oregon Trail ruts located just a short distance away."
What campers like
Concrete camping pads: Pioneer Park in Torrington earns praise for its solid infrastructure. "Water and electric on concrete pads. Good spacing between sites. Clean and open," writes one camper who appreciates the recreational amenities: "Concrete bean bag toss games and about 5 horseshoe pitches."
Lakeside privacy: Many campers value the ability to find secluded spots at Grayrocks Reservoir. One reviewer reports, "We took a gravel road in from Fort Laramie. The road in is about 10 miles of unpaved gravel, totally fine for my SUV... Once you get to the reservoir, there are many pull offs."
Community park atmosphere: Pioneer Park creates a neighborhood-like setting. "Almost like camping in your favorite city park," writes one camper. Another mentions the range of activities: "There is a stream and river within the park. There are trails, frisbee golf, horseshoes, playground, amphitheater, and basketball hoop."
What you should know
Reservation systems vary: Most camping areas operate differently. Pioneer Park in Torrington follows a first-come, first-served system. A camper advises, "This is a first come first serve park. But we had no problems getting a nice site."
Railway proximity: Several campgrounds sit near active train tracks. At Pony Soldier RV Park, "The train is across the road and loud horns. The last train we heard was 10pm and it ran approximately every 40 minutes."
Limited shade coverage: Many campgrounds in the area provide minimal tree coverage. At Two Moon campground, a visitor notes, "As far as camping there is not much cover so wind and weather can be an issue. Bring a tent to sit under for shade."
