Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Mills, WY

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.

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.

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.

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.

This was perfect! The hosts were so kind, friendly and personable. They had lovely hospitality, providing us with an adorable tray of morning coffee. We got in much later than anticipated and they were very understanding and helpful in guiding us to their property and where to park. The ranch is absolutely perfect! Llamas, goats, miniature donkeys and the friendliest dogs. The sunrise and sunset is breathe taking. There is an outhouse for a restroom, which we needed bc we car camped. Dwayne did a great job showing us around the ranch…he was so fun to talk to and is great conversation. We were able to wonder around and pet many of the animals. If you love animals and nature, you’ll love this spot!!! I really hope to be able to come back! One of my favorite bookings ever! What a way to kick off a road trip! HIGHLY recommend booking this!

Neat location with direct access to a park like area along the North Platte River. I took the dogs for a swim on a hot August afternoon.

Staff was very helpful. Park was clean, sites were well maintained.

We had a nice spot with shelter. A lot of spots are hard to level a RV on so chose one you can level your rig on. No hookups, no potable water available. Vault tiolets in numerous places. Dogs ok but have to be leashed. Kids enjoyed hiking Dinosaur Trail and exploring. Lots if fishing spots. Very scenic. $10 a night, pay kiosk.

Went back in August of 2020. Road in from Douglas was part of the adventure. Dodged some cows and saw cool rock formations.  Got one of the last spots.  Several ATV's on the road which made walking the dog interesting.  Great little creek running through the campground and nice, friendly people at the other sites.  Left campground by continuing on down the dirt road. Got dodgy in a few places. Would recommend retracing back to Douglas.

This campground is Located in Barr Nun area outside of Casper. It is all gravel and campsites are very close together. They have a shop in the office area. Along side the office is a little putt-putt golf course-fun fun. There is a propane fill station along with an indoor pool in this area too. There are 2 small dog areas which are also gravel except a small strip of turf at the end. We were in the Rv section with water and electric, our site had a picnic table but no fire pits. They also had areas for tents either on platforms or under shelters. Bathrooms are clean, attractive and handicap accessible. There are really cute cabins here also. This KOA served its purpose as a overnight stop.

Whether you need a place to park for the night or for the week this is a good choice. There are a few down falls like no trees big enough to give you shade making it really hot. It is full hook ups with cable and WiFi. There is a dog run, mini golf, and pool. There weren’t as many campers this year and staff thought maybe because the high gas prices and that Yellowstone flooded might be the cause. The staff was really friendly. In the shop I was impressed that they supported local business. There’s also free internet and computer to use as well as a free coffee bar in the shop. Found out that it’s under new ownership and they’ve decided not to have horse ring and pens anymore. There are a few cabins and tent areas. You can hear a bunch of traffic noise. Otherwise it’s a nice park

Before I moved from Wyoming, I spent most weekends there from the time the snow melted. I things have changed some but my family still spends all summer and fall up there. There are no services but it's a wonderful place to stay.

Lovely campground beside a large natural arch in rural Wyoming. Not only can you pitch your tent with this impressive geological formation as your view, but the North Platte River runs underneath the arch and right up against the campground. There's a short hiking trail that leaves from the campground and brings you up on top of the arch, giving you a better view of the river, an old power plant, and the surrounding red rock. 

Campground is free but there's a three day limit. Check in with the campground host/park manager at the office across from the campground to check in. Really friendly folks and well-maintained park overall.

Let me start by explaining that 3-stars is usually the highest an RV Park will get from me. I am tempted to give it 4, but some pretty great places have a 4 from me (like Yellowstone). I believe that rating everything high, kind of causes the system of starring to lose perspective. 1 Star=Never Again, 3 is average, and 5 Stars=I don’t ever want to leave. As much as I car camp for convenience, I prefer more remote spaces, which is not an RV Park (so there is my bias). 3 is an average rating and this is a really nice spot—but being in the middle of not-much in South Eastern Wyoming, it’s hard to be totally wowed. Additionally, we camped here during the total eclipse of 2017. As a result, the Park was at maximum capacity, and I believe, expanding. The owners are super hospitable. Even with the event in progress, they did choose to charge more to camp rather than overcrowd the campers (much appreciated and very honest). There is an excellent game room. The showers are very clean. There is laundry and a small play area. The RV sites are the typical pull through RV Park sites, and not spacious. The campground, like much of Wyoming is flat, sunny, and with a gravel “yard” that replaced the tall, golden yellow grasses that stretch across these dry plains.

We camped in a tent. The owners had created new tent sites that were directly on the North Platte River. These tent sites, and the staff friendliness are earning the 3 stars. There were trees for shade and a nice breeze coming over the water. There was a good deal more privacy than the RV sites. My understanding was that these were intended to remain as permanent tent sites even after the eclipse. There are no hook-ups at all for the tent sites, and campers cannot back into their camp for convenient grabbing of stuff—a very short walk is required (but far enough to notice the distance). In some ways, this distance from the car, and the line of trees made the campsite feel a little more remote and like resting at an oasis in the desert.

We enjoyed staying here as it was a change of pace from the rolling hills of southwestern Wyoming.  The reservoir that the N Platte leads into is actually Pathfinder Reservoir and not Alcova.  I think Alcova is the reservoir that lies further upstream closer to Lander.  Regardless of the name of the reservoir it was an absolutely gorgeous place to watch the sun rise and set as it lit up Fremont Canyon at both times!  Nearby there are plenty opportunities for boating and fishing, including about 20 m below the camp spots were dozens of fish swimming that we could see from above!  A little bit to the east there are also a decent amount of trad climbs that you can hike to the bottom of in low water or rap down to in case there is high water.

Now about the campground itself.  This was a completely primitive campsite/campground as all the spots were pull-offs on the south side of the road (N side is private, don't camp there!)  The only preexisting things at the campsites were stone fire rings and semi level dirt areas to toss up a tent.  While this is definitely not a place for glampers or RVers, if you have a tent or are car camping it is one  of the best spots in the area!
