  Guernsey State Park Campground

  Well Spaced Sites

  No need to print receipt as the email says but if you don’t print it, call ahead. Also if you plan to use the lake, call ahead. It is drained once per year, usually in July. It’s only empty for about a week to ten days. We stayed at Sandy Point. Close to the lake, provided there is one. Also close to the train tracks. I like trains so it wasn’t an issue. Also they are going slow and are pretty quiet for freight trains. This is a great place to base to see numerous historical sites.

  Group Camping Trip

  It was a weekend trip with a few of our friends. 6 Adults and 5 children. Three Rvs ranging from 16 ft to 35 ft. We got the group camping sites at Fish Canyon Campground 200A+B and 203A+B. We had planned on spending most of our time at the water but didn’t do much research. This was not the campground for that. Highly recommend going to Sandy Beach or any of the cove campgrounds if you plan on swimming. Watch out for high winds.

  Guernsey State Park, Sandy Beach

  Decent park, sites are fairly spread out. Dogs not allowed on the beach areas and lots of rangers. Hot with very little share if in an electric site. Sites by the water don't have electric, but have shade. Zero cell phone service in campground, but pull 1/4 mile out and great service. Nice right on the water. Clean lake. Stayed in Sandy Beach campground at Guernsey State park.

  Extremely large State Park

  I think I gave this park four stars out of low expectations. Middle of nowhere Guernsey Wyoming the state park wraps around a reservoir with beautiful rock formations. There are campgrounds scattered all over and around the campground. If you were in a big rig this is not the easiest place to camp… Be careful where the office places you if you are in a large trailer RV. There are many switchbacks and some elevation to climb. Once you’re on top at the overlooks it’s very scenic. Be careful of the weather change… Within 24 hours the forecast changed from 80° to 35° fortunately we had a Yurt with wood stove.

  Awesome place to visit

  A wonderful place to tent camp. Very quiet area, and sites are usually secluded. Gorgeous views. The reservoir is not good for fishing, so we went to the nearby grayrocks reservoir and had luck there. Also, the water is freezing! We tried swimming. There was also a small wildfire while we were there.

  Showerhouse Closed!

  Its a beautiful state park and I’m glad to have camped here during my travels around Wyoming. I stayed at Newell Bay as its first come first serve. The price for the park is $30 for 1 day and 1 night which is a bit expensive. My only complaint is that the showerhouse is closed! I wish it had stated that on the website, it said it was open as of April 15th but they havent turned the water on yet. If you plan to use the showerhouse, call the park first and check its open!

  Terrible terrible customer service

  Very small dirty park located 15 ft away from rail road . Commercial Trains goes all night and day with loud horn. High voltage tower is right next to park .Dog poops are everywhere . Site 11&12 are between 2 residential ( broken fence, very threshed scene). $35 per night but for Passport America discount she raised to $44.50 plus 12.25% tax charged . We were questioned about this tricky pricing , she has absolutely rude, nasty, attitude and said I can give you money back just leave . They Don’t know how to talk to guest nor doesn’t care guest relationship. Highly not recommend this place for surroundings, terrible customer service , not honest business ethic.

  Beauty is in the Brave!

  While traveling through the Big Horn Mountains we stayed at this gem! Holy smokes there were a lot of negatives... No cell service, thin air, wild animals....

  And then... the Adventure began! This place was so beautiful, you truly did not care about cell service or any of that, the owners of the facility were so accommodating! The BBQ served on site was enough to forget what day it was! So delicious! We also were able to get some “locals only”locations to some beautiful scenery and waterfalls! We also got to see so much wildlife it was the feeling of a great feeling of wholesomeness! This whole area was jaw dropping! If you ever have time drop by and stay at this facility and ask them where to go and what to do. Your life’s creature comforts can wait when you get here! Get out and have a look!

  Could be a whole lot better

  From the grumpy lady at the gate to the trashed campsite this could have been a bad experience but I didn’t let that get to me. Cleaned it all up and set my sites on a great weekend. Then the train came... and another one... all night long. At least there was water this time. All of the camper sites were supposed to be full so I decided to use a tent only option. So many open sites when I got there and they never filled. IDK maybe it’s a Covid thing. Not really a campsite I was to use again. I was at Sandy (should be called thorny) beach.

  Lake very low and train at night

  We stayed at the Sandy Cove loop, site 142. The non-electric site was fine, a picnic table and fire circle. There’s a train that comes by and kept us up at night. Also the lake was super low, so not able to be enjoyed.

  Beautiful Yurt and boat during the silt run

  Guernsey has 4 yurts you can rent for $40/night. Clean, all have electricity. Bunk beds with mattresses and fold out futon couch. Wood fire stove if you need heat. Shared pit toilet, bring toilet paper. Picnic table with fire ring. Please buy all firewood locally, don't transport wood! Beautiful sunsets. You might be able to hear the artillery of the National Guard practice area when they are active - which is most of the summer. The best time we had here was during the silt run, which is in mid-July each year. Water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir flushing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators. If you like mud, the reservoir is a ton of fun, as the water level is down 25'. Transporting kayaks through the mud proves challenging - don't fall down or lose a shoe. The reward is a fantastic, easy float of the North Platte river from the reservoir all the way to the edge of town. There was not another camper at the yurt and we saw no one on the river as boats can't get to it due to the mud.

  Not a lot of privacy, but lake was beautiful

  The sites are close together but many had a fair amount of shade. The park is quite large, with opportunities for hiking and getting out on the water.

  Go for the scenery, not the facilities

  We stayed four weeknights and had a pretty good time. The sites were loose gravel and very unlevel. Not too crowded during the week. The vault toilet was close to our site but you had to really need to use it to go in there. (Think ‘fly-tornado’ when you open the door.) We ventured out to use the shower house and found that it was a single shower for both men and women, for the entire state park! We couldn’t believe it... but more surprising was that it was a pay-to-use shower... $1 for the first four minutes and a quarter for each additional minute thereafter. Not a huge cost, granted, but we paid around $40/night for a campsite. That’s double what we’re used to paying for a much nicer campsite in our part of the world. The views around the lake were awesome. We’ll go back just for this reason. There were many trails in the park but most were poorly marked and some were simply not able to be found due to overgrowth.

  Hot and sunny - but might be nice with a boat

  This was rated highly by others but we didn’t enjoy our stay. The State Park is spread out over a few miles around a lake formed by a dam. The entrance fee collector was not helpful in describing where to camp. Driving through it looks like you pay a fee to get in and then look for campfire rings for a dispersed camping site. Little loops are given different campground names. 

  It was hot and we needed some shade. We found one spot that was down a canyon and away from the water. We were the only ones in the loop so it was private but what a mess. Garbage was all over and I couldn’t even use the men’s vault toilet near us. Water pressure was amazing and garbage cans were easily found at the end of the canyon loop. 

  We did drive around to see the highlights and everything is out in the sun. They say they have miles of hiking trails but we didn’t go far because of the heat. 

  If you have a boat and get a spot by the water this might have been a different experience for us.

  Small campground-16 sites

  Located in Fort Laramie on Us Hwy 26 is the Chuckwagon Rv Park. It is a small park with 16 Full hook up sites. Each site has a picnic table but no fire ring( which we are finding normal for this area). It is privately owned and is fine for a quick stop passing through.

  Great base camp

  We stayed here and traveled to the local sites. The camping area has a great view. The RV sites are pretty level and some have power and water. At the entrance is a good place to fill up fresh water tanks if you are staying at a dispersed site. The dump station is at the entrance as well. The staff and Park Rangers were very kind and courteous as we visited the different historic locations. We will definitely return.

  Massive Campground with Plenty to Choose from

  If you can't find a campground you need to not be camping. There are options ranging from Tent to Yurts. It really is a diverse place. Lots of big rigs with big boats at this place. The sites range from no electricity (which made it a bit louder with generators going at night) to 50 amp. Little dusty in places. We stayed in Sandy Beach and had a great view of the water which was perfect at sunset, but we also had the trains near as well. The campground didn't have flush toilets which is why most have their big rigs to use. The town itself doesn't offer too much and it looked as though most people were there to boat.

  Boats and RVs

  This camp site is not ideal for those who want a camp site away from it all. There are a ton of RVs that are setting up at all hours of the day and night. My camp site was near a very active railroad track. The bathroom facilities were clean and we were by the resevoir. Overall, just not what I was looking for. The site was super pricey once all the fees were included. Not worth it.

  Panoramic Views with many camping options

  I was looking for a place along I-25 to break up a drive, and I was not disappointed. I was a little apprehensive picking a place 10+ mile East of the highway, since I know most of the great views fo the Tetons are West of the highway, but this place delivered in spades.

  First off, there are plenty of places to camp within the park. Choose from a beachside spot or a beach point (+100s of feet) view. I elected for a small, 3 plot only place called Davis Bay to get some solitude. The Ranger who ran into me during his rounds of the grounds said this place is pretty vacant on weekdays (I camped on a Wed) with places like the above mentioned spots along with Yurts and a place called "the Castle" available for group rentals.

  Overall the park is in really great shape, and I highly recommend a bike ride/hike/drive up to Brimmer's Point, which provides a lot of the views you'll see from the photos.

  My area had no water, and I noticed the same from Beachside spots. Skyline View campgrounds was the one with the potable water.

  While I imagine this place is fantastic for everything from water skiing and fishing to party boating along the river (with various launch points) it is highly dependent on the water level, which appears at the mercy of the township since this is a reservoir lake-related setup so if you're one for water sports, I recommend a call to the park to get a report on water levels.
