CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Lewis Park, near Wheatland, Wyoming, is a community park that offers a convenient spot for both RV and tent camping. It’s a donation-based setup, so you can enjoy your stay without breaking the bank, and you can camp for up to three nights.

The park features several sites with electric hookups, making it a practical choice for those needing power. Visitors have mentioned the well-kept grounds, which include amenities like a playground, tennis courts, and even a mini-golf course. As one camper noted, “The park included a nice little miniature golf course, tennis courts, a skateboard park, pavilions, a small amphitheater, and playground equipment.”

While the campground is close to train tracks, many found the noise manageable, especially after a long day on the road. The nearby town offers a few local attractions, and the park itself is a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Whether you're just passing through or looking for a quick getaway, Lewis Park provides a friendly atmosphere and plenty of activities to keep you entertained.

Shut Down By RV Park Owner

This cute city park used to offer free electrical for up to 3 nights. We used to stop on our way through, get gas, grocery shop, go to a cheap movie at their goofy little theater, and eat at Guadalajara. Not anymore. The lady who owns the RV park in town complained and got the town to remove access to the electrical hookups. I hope the town realizes I’m not paying to stay in her crappy RV park. I’m just not going to stop and bring business there at all now. Contact the town council and let them know if you feel the same. Maybe they’ll realize it wasn’t the best choice to kowtow to her.

Great little city park RV campground

Located in the city park, there are a few tent camping spots and about RV 15 camping spots, some with electric hookups. There is no charge, but donations are accepted. Water and dump stations are nearby. Individual sites are reasonably maintained but could use a little mowing and leveling. Dumpsters were available near all of the sites, which was nice. The park included a nice little miniature golf course, tennis courts, a skateboard park, pavilions, a small amphitheater and playground equipment. There were also public bathrooms that looked kept up on the outside, but we didn’t look inside. Also, the train tracks are very close, so expect a train or two during the night. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Community Park

Great little community park that offers RV and tent sites for free. Limited to camping 3 days. We'll maintained city park with community pool, mini golf, playground, grills, tennis courts and skatepark. Great spot for an overnight stay. Great Verizon cell phone coverage.

Great donation-only town park

We stopped for the night at Lewis Park en route from Utah to Nebraska, and we're very happy that we did. It's barely a mile off I-25 in Wheatland.

This town park campground includes six gravel pad 20/30/50A electric sites for RVs and numerous sites for tents only. Potable water is available at several hydrants, including one right adjacent to the first site, where we stayed. There's also an RV dump available, and best of all it's all free! (But donations at the park's iron ranger are encouraged.) Maximum stay is 3 nights. Sites are reasonably level side to side, but far less so front to back.

The park itself is in immaculate condition with well-manicured grass. The town itself is neat, tidy and clean. Cell signal was solid on Verizon 4G LTE, but throughput rates were spotty.

As the other reviewer said, there are a few Union Pacific freight trains that pass right by the campground per day, but we didn't find that to be as bothersome as we expected even though we deducted one star for that "feature." The park also includes wonderful amenities for kids, including a playground, disc golf course, and one of the most elaborate and well-kept mini-golf courses that we've ever seen. There's also a municipal swimming pool immediately adjacent. But the campground is well separated from all the other activity, and we enjoyed a quiet stay before getting back on the road in the morning.

Regrettably, as we were in and out for a quick overnight we didn't snap any photos.

Overnight Stop

This campground was a sight for sore eyes on a long haul from Washington to Texas. We pulled in at dark and left early in the morning. The spots were very easy to get into. There is a train nearby that was loud but we were so tired it didn’t bother us. We had been driving in fog for hours. The sites were nice and grassy. They had power so we plugged in to run some heaters. It was getting very cold in September. If you’re in need of a great stopping spot, this was a good one. It was easy to access and the other campers were very friendly.
