Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Moorcroft, WY

We appreciated the pre arrival phone call to confirm we were still coming and letting us know our site was open whenever we wanted to arrive. Check in was very easy and informative concerning what to do in the area. We then proceeded to FHUs pull-through site 9. Utilities were conveniently located to include outstanding water pressure so use a reducer. Since we were only staying here two days, we decided to opt for the$2.00 a day additional charge for cable versus putting out our satellite dish. We received over 60 channels that worked great. Campground WiFi was satisfactory and we got 2 to 3 bars on Verizon. Along with the owners/camp hosts being very friendly, the office had a great store that carries not only RV supplies but other novelty items and they do propane tank fills. The campground sites were very well laid out. We visited at the end of the season, so a lot of their sites were already closed up in preparation for shutting down for the year. The back in and upper level pull-through sites had more spacing between sites versus the lower level pull-throughs where we stayed. The park was far enough from I-90 so there was basically no road noise. The fenced in dog park was a nice addition. Being only 30 minutes from Devil's Tower, this campground was very convenient to see local sights. Also take a tour of Sundance, this is where The Sundance Kid got his name and he had been jailed in the old courthouse. This park is a winner whether you need a nice overnight stop or a place to hang out for a while. We would definitely camp here again.

struck out on any camping close to devils tower, so we ended up coming here. fun little dirt road coming up the mountain to the sight. really only like 2 spots. lower spot is medium sized and we saw someone else there in a jeep. friends and i took the top spot which was big enough for a truck, a large suv, and sedan.

very quiet secluded area. got cold at night in august, but very beautiful views.

in the dark we kept seeing a tuxedo cat randomly watching us, not sure if it’s a stray or an outside cat from one of the nearby farms, didn’t come over when we enticed it and ran when we shone the light but cute little campsite friend i guess.

If you are on your way up to Devils Tower and are looking for camping this is definitely the spot instead of the KOA camping. Its about an hour away and way less crowded. If you like more of a primitive camping experience go for the homestead camping spots. All dirt (no contrete pads), some shade, a decent amount of space between camp spots and close to water. We only had fly fishing rods but still were able to catch some decent size bass. If you like fishing, and arent a skilled fly fisher, definitely bring a good casting rod- fish are all pretty big and aggressive (walleyes, bass, sunfish etc).

You can swim anywhere in the reservoir except where boats dock. If you have pets though I would be cautious around the water, there are tons of signs up about algea blooms.

Its a 6 hour drive from Denver, but I'll probably head up to Keyhole whenever Colorado has strict fire bans. Pretty neat spot, reservation only at the moment.

Due to it's remoteness, it appears some campers are taking advantage of the CG. Lots of trash and a pile of dog poop were left in a site vacated on my second day. Many other campers don't understand the need to put seat down and close door of vault toilet. There is no trash collection, so pack it out, please. Otherwise, this is a cute CG. No cell service. Water pump is provided but it's a workout to use. Sites 1&8 are the best. Trees for some shade. 1 has creek right behind it. Don't use GoogleMap as it does not take you to actual destination. USFS directions are off a bit, but are pretty good. Less gravel road if you come from Wyoming side.

Great location if you want to explore Devil's Tower and hike around. A short drive past the entrance of the park is this convenient first come first serve campground. 

The campground has 2 loops with all pull through gravel sites which vary in degree of levelness. 35 foot max RV length. There is no privacy but everyone there was really nice and neighbors chatted with each other. Lots of trees and some sites are shadier than others and some have amazing views of Devil's Tower. There are no hook ups and despite most of the sites being taken by RVs there was very minimal generator noise which is always a welcome surprise.

Each site had a fire pit though no fires allowed at the time we were there and signs posted and pits were taped off reminding you not to start a fire. There was also picnic tables at each site as well. Flush toilets, garbage and recycling as well as drinking water available. You can access hiking to the trails around the tower from this campground. 

Also near the campground is Prairie Dog Town where you can watch these cute critters pop in an out of their holes and run about screaming. Do not try to feed or touch them. They do not want to be in your selfie nor do they want to be your friend. 

You can walk a trail from the campground and a short distance on the road back over the bridge out the entrance gate to the 2 stores just outside the park. One is KOA run and had a cafe as well. Both had some camping supplies and souvenirs as well as beer:).

Decent cell coverage from ATT, Verizon and Tmobile
