The Best Camping Near Rock Springs, Wyoming

This is a large fairgrounds parking lot that has a delightful camp host who lives on site. It was a great spot to wait out a snow storm. All gravel and right in town.

Only $10 for electric and a free hot shower

Phone message gave u complete details ..first come first serve.  Many spaces. reception was very welcoming and informative price very reasonable

Very Pleasant

When I first investigated this and saw that it had 1,200 FHU sites I figured it must have been a typo. But, sure enough there are that many sites. We needed a 1 night stay and saw about a total of 20 other RVs.
Easy access, easy setup and nice campground coordinator. Enjoyed a peaceful evening. Very clean and private restroom/shower facilities. 
Verizon signal was very good and we caught up on some streaming. 

Great 1 Night Stay

Car camping and needed a place to sleep to break up my drive from Gunnison Colorado to grand Teton- $11 cash. Includes CLEAN restroom and shower. No breathtaking view, no trees or shade no real privacy other than the ability to space out. It’s perfect for what i needed it for, a safe, clean and convenient place to sleep for a few hours before hitting the road. It even seems like theirs WiFi so going to try watching some Netflix 

Zero thrills but cheap and convenient 

With a nice view of a beautiful Wyoming mountain ridge, this is basically a massive RV park for events at the events center. It is close to I-80 behind an industrial park, so not an "unspoiled nature" experience by any stretch.

Well maintained 15/30/50 amp and water hookups. Round gravel surface (not sharp gravel, more like river gravel) with good drainage. Stopped here overnight to ride out a rainstorm. A little muddy in spots. 

The caretaker and her husband were lovely folks and invited me into their warm and charming country home to pay for the site, where chicken and dumplings were cooking. They let my pup play in their yard with their pups for a few minutes. You can't plan or buy warm experiences with nice folks like that. 

Good spot to stop and rest for the night on 80. Lots of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in the area.

Basic overnight stop

it was very peacefull and very good for my dogs

We attended the International Newmar Rally there with over 700 other RVs.  They are able to handle dining and entertainment.  The RV spots are all back in but if there it is possible to park across two or three so you don’t have to unhook.  The staff was great and full hookup utilities very good.  Plenty of gravel spots.  WiFi spotty and ATT service bad. 

Great RV Venue

Warm respite for weary travelers after 3 days of primitive camping and 8 hours crossing the Great Divide Basin desert following in the path of westward emigrant trails. The caretakers (just follow the signs) were amazing, invited me into their home, and treated me like a good neighbor. We arrived on the final night of the Sweetwater County Fair – aka ‘The Big Show’ – so we were treated to an awesome fireworks display (Wyoming!) $34/night for full camper hookups (water, sewer, 15A &amp; 30A), hot showers, trash services, and they have ample stalls, so no pre-reservations are required.

Welcome stopover and gateway to Yellowstone country

Stayed there one night on way to Tetons. Many sites and campground hosts so friendly. Mostly used for rallies and events. Restroom very clean with individual showers in restroom.

Nice site with tons of spaces

Stopped here on the way to colorado from the Tetons. Perfect spot to crash- so many spots, not crowded, and the camp hosts were so kind! you have to go to them to check in (they are in a little house on the edge of the site). Paid $17 for a site for the night.

Perfect Pit Stop

We had a reserved spot in the national forest nearby. When we arrived, it was all locked up

After a little research, we found this amazing spot! 

First, the caretaker was so lovely. She was so kind and adjusted the price to our needs

The area was clean, level, sewage dump at each site, nice showers/bathrooms, not crowded, plenty of space for side by side parking and…

Beautiful sunrise

Perfect place after find out our National park spot was closed

Great spot for an overnight stay if you’re passing through Rock Springs. Pay when you get here. Camp host is in the small house in the corner of the parking lot. Beautiful mountain range view. Bring soap and TP if you’re using the restroom/ showers. 
Restrooms are clean. Gas and supplies are nearby to this fair ground event center.
Will stay here again on our way to Colorado.

Road trip overnight stay

We decided on a rim to checkout out this location and we are glad we did! We arrived to the campground around 7:00 pm without a reservation and easily found the home where the caretakers stay. The nicest couple assisted us and were even going to let us park for free, but we decided to take advantage of the $17 full RV hookup spot just to conserve power and refill our water tank. We parked super close to the bathrooms which were nice with each room having its own toilet and shower. There were other campers and RVs there but we still felt like we had plenty of space. The free wifi was a nice touch! 

Chill overnight stay

The location on the Dyrt app was incorrect. I googled and found it very close. Wide open area, all gravel, easy parking. The price was $49 per night but they honored the $30 listed. Caretakers very nice and friendly.

Open and convenient 

Stayed one night as a stopover on the way to Cheyenne. Clean bathrooms, caretaker very courteous, mostly level wide open treeless gravel parking. No issues with that but the flies were tough to deal with in spite of efforts to keep them out. Oh, and it was $43 for the night. 

Sweetwater Event Center Camping

Great place to stop on the way, beautiful mountain views and beautiful sunset. A lovely and nice elderly couple runs the place wonderfully. There are also water and electricity connections, clean toilets and showers. Recommended

A pleasant and quiet place

This was a great stop for overnight. This place is huge! We felt like we had the place to ourselves. It is very dog friendly. Reasonably priced. Has full hookups. The only thing it does not have are fire pits. The spaces are huge so any RV will fit. It is on 320 acres so you can get your workout in.
