The Lingle area in southeastern Wyoming features several designated campgrounds and public lands for overnight stays. Pony Soldier RV Park provides full hookup sites within Lingle city limits, while Pioneer Park in nearby Torrington offers concrete pads with water and electric hookups in a riverside setting. Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access Area, approximately 20 miles west of Lingle, permits free dispersed camping along the shoreline. Accommodation types range from basic tent sites to full-service RV parks, with several locations offering cabins or glamping options.
Seasonal considerations affect camping conditions throughout the region. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-90°F, while winters can bring snow and subfreezing temperatures. Most developed campgrounds operate from May through September, though Pioneer Park and several RV parks remain open year-round. Water access points like Grayrocks Reservoir impose 5-day camping limits and occasional fire restrictions. Cell service varies considerably across the area, with stronger signals near towns and limited coverage at reservoir sites. A visitor to Grayrocks noted, "Free public access camping with many spots right on the water, but arrive Thursday or Friday morning to get a decent spot."
Many campers highlight the waterfront locations as particularly desirable. Grayrocks Reservoir receives consistently high ratings for its lakeside camping with good boat launch access, though several reviews mention challenges with bugs during summer months. Pioneer Park earns praise for its concrete pads and proximity to the Platte River. According to one camper, "Such a quiet and pretty little park with everything you need right here—a river for fishing, electric and water at every site, and an RV dump station." Train noise affects some locations, particularly Pony Soldier RV Park, where one reviewer mentioned, "The train is across the road with loud horns approximately every 40 minutes." Most developed sites provide electric hookups and water, while dispersed areas offer more solitude but fewer amenities.
"Here's a place to drop anchor when it's been a long day of driving. For $25 bucks (July 2026) you get a level site, electrical power and water. And, you get access to a black tank dump as you leave."
"We got a drive thru site with water & 50 amp. Plenty of room for our 40’ class a and dingy. No sewer hookup, but a dump station on site. Plenty of shade trees and it’s a short walk to the river."
"Driving down US Highway 26 about 5 miles East of Ft. Laramie, you will find Pony Soldier RV Park. There are 52 RV Sites ranging from Electric and water to full hook ups."
"Very close to historical sites and some great views."
"Cows everywhere, water close by and beautiful hills around this area. Only downside is the insane amount of flies"
"When you get to the beginning of the lake it’s very full of RVs and campers. As you keep driving there are a few dispersed spots."

TravelerWas weird camping by a golf course, small cute, clean area. Had electrical and water, no dump station. Nice dog park across the pond/creek/river and access to a trail system that took you to historical sites in the area.
Could not book online need to go into golf house to reserve a site. They will give you a sticker/paper to put on your camper. Glue did not come off when peeled the paper off the camper.
GuideI stopped here on my way from Florida to Shoshone National Forest. It was very convenient and provided water and electric. All the sites were back in but with plenty of space.
TravelerMultiple pull outs and super close to the water, only down side is a lot of cars driving past and can be pretty loud. Other than that wasn’t a lot of people on Labor Day. And bathrooms are only near the boat launch not near camping.
ScoutFriendly host. Easy to register online with QR at campsite. Has electric and water and if needed sewer. Reasonable prices.
RangerWould be 4 stars if there were at least some kind of direction. The first entrance you come to is technically the end of the campground if you consider the higher number sites being the end. The second entrance has a line of dumpsters and starts with the camp host. There are no signs at the forks telling you which numbers are which direction. So we guessed and thankfully were right. Although the gravel road is mostly smooth for a gravel road there is a little washout in some areas and we'd prefer not to drive around the whole place just trying to find our spot. Only saw one sign while riding our scooters through the park that indicated a set number of sites in the teens so make sure to save or screenshot a map. Its not a huge campground but who really wants to drive the whole grounds. Vault toilets dotted throughout but we never used them. There is for sure a water fill station at the first entrance. We were already full but someone was using it to fill when we drove in so it appears to be in good working order. Dumpters at both ends. Newer boat ramp and plenty of parking available for trucks w/ boat trailers either in the paved lot or on the beach. Rangers with invasive species check station in operation. Water level was very low during our visit but still beautiful. Was also clearly stated on the website along with other alerts such as the bloom and fireban. The bloom did not seem to affect the area we were at. The water was clear and clean. Our site #4 very large pull through and its quite sloped. We had to use 3 blocks on the right side to level. Can see the water through the trees. Every evening the deer made a loop around us for dinner grazing. They even came quite close. Very cute. Only other complaint is some of the people would drive by quite fast and kick up a lot of dust. There is only one dump station for the entire park located at the park head quarters after shelter point campground and the marina.
TravelerNot much shade here, but the sites are level. My van doesn't need electricity, so I'm in a $12 tent site. Pay by phone. Good cell signal. Easy access on a dirt road. Class A and fifth wheels are here, too.
RangerRight of rt25 in Wheatland with beautiful mountain views. Super friendly and helpful owner would definitely stay again. Very clean laundry/bathroom building. Gravel dirt lot with cement pads, full hookups and picnic tables. Very long sites can accommodate big rigs. I reserved by phone a week in advance. No credit cards so bring check or cash $60 at the time of my visit.
ScoutThe lady that runs it says that she is always broke and that’s why she can’t afford to take care of the campground as well as she should. It is over run by weeds. She doesn’t set any traps for pest control like mice, the mice will get in your rv and chew things up. She has dogs that also bark during the night and a train that blows its horn right next to the campground. As well as she said she would have a bathroom and laundry room on the property, but she has been telling people that for 3 years now. So you will have to go to a laundry mat and if you don’t have a bathroom you will need to go in town.
ScoutGreat location along the river with good walking paths and next to the YMCA camp and zoo. Good for traveling through on a hot night with hooks ups. Downside is the bathroom facilities. Not horrible but not exactly clean. You need to check in online to get the bathroom codes. We texted a number from the reservation confirmation to get this info
