    Deer Creek Village RV Park

    Next door dog park was a nice bonus

    The office building was equipped with convenient amenities, boasting well-maintained men's and women's bathroom/shower rooms, as well as a set of 4 washers and 4 dryers - all of which made my stay even more comfortable. The camper hook ups were a breeze, with flawless water, electric, and sewage connections. I especially appreciated the concrete slab next to my camper, perfect for grilling, playing bag toss, or simply relaxing in chairs.

    The location couldn't have been better - nestled right by the city park, I felt the location was perfect. Being close to Deer Creek added a touch of nature to the experience. I noticed ongoing improvements, such as the replacement of gravel sites and the addition of new cement slabs, truly showing a commitment to enhancing the RV park. The presence of shade trees was nice, and the adjacent city park, complete with a dog park, was a fantastic bonus.

    Casper KOA

    All around great place

    We enjoyed this spot tremendously. Overlooking the whole city of Casper in Barr nunn, WY. Nice hookups easy in and out, clean laundry, pool and 2 dog parks are well lit and clean. The putt putt was a great addition for the kids. Walking distance to the Hangar Restaurant was really cool and had a little arcade for kids while you eat. It really felt like the break in travel we needed! We had antelope visiting every night. Really neat place to stay.

    Douglas KOA

    Jackalope Capital

    Douglas KOA

    Home of the Jackalope! Douglas, Wyoming that is. They claim the original “discovery” of the Jackalope and everyone else just followed suit. There is a Jackalope silhouette outside of town on a hill, there are Jackalope lick Nessie’s throughout town and there is a Jackalope Square that has Farmers Market on Saturday’s that has a huge statute of said Jackalope.

    The KOA is a larger one and more so like a parking lot then anything else. The staff were awesome! Very friendly and informative. A few things of note, the trash receptacles are placed throughout the campground which is nice. The dog park is a bigger one and there were actually locations for horses.
    Not much shade AT ALL, and the wind whip’s through a lot. I was informed though that’s a Wyoming thing anyway. Miniature golf, swimming pool and camp kitchen as expected. The WIFI , I’m sorry to say, sucks and is not private. I’ve noticed in my travels though that NONE of the KOA’s have very good WIFI. I was fortunate and got an end site, near the office/shower (clean w/short shower heads and counters)and I had shade. A few days before I arrived in early September it had already snowed and the temperature had dropped into the 20’s. It was in the 50’s my first day and is a comfortable 75 today with a lite breeze. Douglas has some interesting history and historical sites nearby so it’s worth a visit if your exploring the old west or just driving through. Make sure you keep your gas above 1/2, the highways are a long way between gas stations and the speed limits are usually 70-80 MPH.

    Platte River RV Park & Campground

    Super organized

    We were using this campground as just a stop on the way to Grand Teton. It was convenient off the highway. Close together, but it's an RV park after all ...it was super clean, owner was super nice and very organized....provided with a list of rules and there are a bunch of signs.

    We were able to do laundry here and it has a dog park area with dog poop balls and a ball and tug of war toys. My dog loved this!!!

    Platte river was at the back of the campground and you can go down and hang out. Mosquitoes bad at night though down by the river! We had a good experience for a quick stop. $53 for full hookup etc. It's the only thing they had other than non electric, as we booked same day.

    River’s Edge RV and Cabin Resort

    Nice RV Park

    Nice campground near Casper, WY. We just stayed for one night and they were able to accommodate us arriving late with us calling ahead. There is a grassy area by the river that is nice to walk your dog. Shower and bathroom area was clean. There is a little playground for kids.

    The only cons was it is close to the train which was a noisy when it came by, but didn’t prevent us from sleeping. Full hook ups, pet friendly.

    Platte River RV Park & Campground

    …At least there’s a dog park

    I liked the little dog park and river access.

    I mostly didn’t like everything else… from what I’ve been gathering, they put their long-term stays in worse sites which seems strange? RV sites are extremely small. Whoever was in charge of the website's marketing did a bang-up job, because let me tell you, the reality is a far cry from those picture-perfect images.

    This campground, is nothing more than a flat, uninspiring patch of land that will transform into a mud pit at the first sight of rain. Shade? Forget about it. You'd be luckier finding a needle in a haystack than a sliver of shade here. And good luck tracking down any staff – it's like they've perfected the art of hide and seek. The office "closed" sign is practically a permanent fixture. So, if you're in the middle of a long-term stay and something goes awry– you're pretty much on your own.

    Good camp spot

    Quick note: you have to check in. The The office is right across from campsite, bottom floor of the house.

    No cell service but you'll get some driving out of the park.

    Gates closed from 8 pm to 8 am.

    Pros: Clean Beautiful Free & easy to register Pit toilet, trashcan, picnic table, fire pit Close to highway, but no traffic noise

    Cons: Not very private - camp spots close together Can hear shooting No pets

    Overall I had a great experience here!

Guide to Mills

The Mills area offers camping options across Wyoming's high plains region, with elevations around 5,100 feet resulting in dry summer conditions. Temperatures can fluctuate significantly between day and night, with summer highs often reaching 90°F and dropping to the 50s after sunset. Camping sites range from established RV parks with full amenities to more secluded options with mountain views.

What to do

Fishing access: Gray Reef Reservoir provides fishing opportunities along the North Platte River. "Beautiful mountains and reservoir made for a lovely sunset. Nice vaulted toilet not far from our camp site. Site 5 is very private and off to the other side of the dam from the other sites, makes for a nice private spot," shares one Gray Reef Reservoir visitor.

Hiking and mountain exploration: Casper Mountain offers trails and forested areas just 15 minutes from town. "Awesome camping on Casper Mountain. 15 minutes to town makes it convenient. The camp sites are always kept up well," notes a camper at Beartrap Meadow County Park.

River activities: Multiple campgrounds offer river access for floating or wading. "We floated the river and docked right at the site, the kids loved the relaxing hammock park(at night there is twinkling lights in the trees), bonfires, community 'kitchen', there was a band during 4th of July!" reports a visitor at Memory Bridge Campground.

What campers like

River views and sounds: Many campers appreciate the water features near Mills. "Rush from the dam is a lovely background noise all night," mentions one Gray Reef Reservoir reviewer about the spillway ambiance.

Animal interactions: Beyond pet-friendly policies, some sites offer unique animal experiences. "In a word, the animal interactions were great as you walked among them. Dewayne was supper friendly and definitely from the cloth of a rancher," shares a visitor at Cloud Peak Llama and Alpaca Ranch.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness stands out in reviews. "Very clean bathroom/showers. A couple have been remodeled. Nice laundry room. Free mini golf. Nice spots with grass between," notes a Casper East RV Park camper.

What you should know

Weather considerations: The Mills area experiences temperature swings and limited shade at some sites. "Nice fishing but the campsites can get very hot during the day...little to no shade in most campsites," warns a Gray Reef visitor.

Train noise: Some campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. "The only cons was it is close to the train which was a noisy when it came by, but didn't prevent us from sleeping," mentions a reviewer at River's Edge RV and Cabin Resort.

Primitive options: Several campgrounds offer more basic accommodations. "Deer Haven is a rustic haven for campers, boasting 11 reservable campsites and a single restroom. It's worth noting that water and utilities aren't accessible at this campground," explains a DeerHaven Campground visitor.
