Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lysite, WY

$55 night, full hook ups: electric, water, and sewage. Pull thru sites. All sites come with picnic table and fire ring. Sites are level. Not very private. Not a lot of shady trees so camper can warm up even with AC. Dog friendly.

Lovely big hot spring pool. it has different sections with different temps. They clean the pools bi-weekly so make sure to ask when reserving if its a cleaning week because you will lose pool time.

Didnt have much luck with wifi. at&t was very week, verizon was good in the area.

State park near by with more hot spring views and bison views. We did the spirit trail just over a mile.

Beware the whole area smells like rotten eggs due to the sulfer in the springs. It can be nauseating.

The hosts are amazing. They bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and comfortable. They even brought a wifi repeater and installed next to our camper to insure we had a good signal. 20/30/50 amp available. Community water spicket. Shower- rustic and super clean. Large gathering spot to include fire pits, grill, tables. Stars for miles. The resident poodle, Griz, greets you daily. The Wind River Mountains are about 45 min. away. Worth the trip. PRO TIP: Do the waterfall hike. 3.4 mi. Round-trip. Hiking along the river canyon.

Grave springs boasts over 10 sites with picnic tables, fire pits, restrooms, and trash. The scenery is unbelievable. Dark sky's at night reveal the milky way. Wildlife include fox, racoons, squirrels, skunk, elk, deer and fish! The creek runs through the campground. Close by are amazing scramble rocks, more creek fishing spots, and choose your own adventure wilderness terrain. The site is popular/busy during the hunting season and I heard it is busy sometimes on labor day weekend...but other than that it is a quiet undiscovered gem.... shhhh!!! Willard's nearby offers meals and drinks. There is no cell service at the campground but there is a sweet cell spot about a mile away. Take a right out of the site...go about a mile and there are some truck tracks that go up a hill...once you are up the hill you may have to walk around a little bit to get the signal. Be aware: the roads here EAT tires. Regardless whether you have 4wd, Awd, or 2wd...you NEED high clearance and good tires in good condition. Also, make sure you have gas...and extra gas if you plan on day tripping a lot. The people you meet out this way are extremely friendly and helpful.

The good - the staff is great, very helpful and responsive. The place is well kept overall, although the bathroom spiders were pretty impressive themselves and its all pretty aged. I did have a few scalding/freezing moments when someone flushed a toilet and I was showering but it was our first shower after 4 days in Yellowstone and it was lovely.

The park has a nice table and grill, full hookups and nice shade but the spots are very tight so you'll need to be handy with backing and leveling around the tree trunks.

The bad - holy mother of big rigs. The traffic going by at all hours is SO loud. SO SO loud. None of us could sleep and we were all pretty cranky. I guess you balance easy access with highway and truck noises, but be aware that it's an issue.

Side note - breakfast at the Black Bear Cafe (0.8m) was delicious, down home goodness and recommended for cranky bad-sleep travelers to perk up.

Also the Star Plunge was awesome, great facility, great hot springs and the slides were a huge hit. We were warned to avoid Teepee hot springs as the slides are very rough and will remove more layers than you'd like.

This place was fantastic! I stayed for three nights and only had campers one other night and had the entire place to myself. I drove out to the Long point campground on the little peninsula out in the water so you had views 360. There were multiple picnic tables with shelters and two clean vault toilets that were well stocked. Saw a few boaters come by in the evenings but other than that it was just peace and quiet. If you sit and look at the lake, you’ll see a lot of jumping fish. I also had fantastic AT&T service and could work remotely with no issues. Will definitely stay again and felt safe. Other than vault toilets, there are no other amenities so please pack out what are you bring in. 

Booked what looked like a decent site by the river and found it to be unusable when we arrived. I was considering just occupying a different site since the place was nearly empty. Thankfully a sheriff's vehicle was driving thru (which I mistook for a park ranger). He told me he'd try to help us get a different spot by calling the park office but on realizing that he had no cell service, he volunteered to drive to the office to see what he could get done for us. He returned after a short while with instructions for us to camp in an empty pull-through spot. We were very thankful for his help.

The good-

Beautiful canyon!!

Shade from big cottonwoods (it was 97 degrees!)

Some sites well spaced

Vault toilet was clean and supplied

There's good fishing there for big trout but unfortunately I was fishing this time around

The bad-

No cell or WIFI

A lot of strangely laid out sites, some ridiculously close to one another and unlevel 

Sprinklers in some areas that sprinkle your site, tent or whatever's exposed

Highway noise is bad - in a canyon sound bounces off the walls, many trucks on the road with much use of jake brakes and to top it all off, the occasional 2AM freight train rolling by on the other side of the river
