Riverside City Park

Beautiful tree lined park in the center of town. Borders the North Platte River and a main city street. Traffic noise? Yes. But it wasn’t bothersome. Local folks driving through to see what’s going on and who’s visiting? Yes! And why wouldn’t they? Clean restrooms and showers? Yes! Picnic tables…Grills…Green grass…Beautiful trees…Water? Yes! And free for up to 2 nights! Douglas is a great community and there is a ton to see and do nearby.

Well, the traffic was noisy, but the bathroom was clean. There are picnic tables and little grills situated for public use which was nice, and a grocery 3 minutes away. However, there seemed to be lots of local use of the park, which wouldn’t bother me normally, except for the lack of consideration that people may be trying to sleep in their vehicles. As of my stay, camping was prohibited on the grass due to a drought, so tent camping was out. But it was free with a two-night stay maximum, and some trees even provide shade!

Arrived and was the only camper there until after dark. Gravel parking lot with access to the river, but in a built-up part of town. Restrooms were clean, but we're apparently locked at some point at night as I couldn't access it in the morning. I think homeless folks may go there for showers, etc.

 The women’s bathroom was very dirty the evening we arrived. It was cleaned the following morning trains all night, and next to a busy road. Right on the north Platte River Park is clean worked for what we need it.

This little town park for campers is wonderful! We had 5 units during our one night stay, but there is room for many more. Pleasant, treed, graveled, and very very quiet. Easy location for those traveling across Wyoming. Very impressed…and thankful!

It’s next to a small town so you can hear traffic. There are signs saying not to camp on the grass, which is the only spot to put a tent. If you don’t have a tent then they have nice picnic spots, bathrooms and showers that are free.

Very green and well kept spot to camp with clean toilets and hot showers. Happened upon this place when local WY state fair staff told us their overnight camping lot was full, which was great since this one was free! We tent camped so needed ear plugs for the road noise, but worth it for the convenient location. Currently they have some limitations on when you can camp on the grass due to overnight watering, so tent campers beware.

Riverside park is a city park with no electric hook ups. There are areas on nice lush grass for renting and a loop that RVs can park. It’s right across the street from the state fairgrounds and you can stay free for 2 nights. There is water and a dump station along with benches and stand alone grill in the green areas. It’s a cute little area next to the river so you could fish if you’d like. There is a public bathroom to use

Great job city of Douglas! This is a rare gem! Free dump station, water, showers, trees, green grass, river, level for RV parking. It’s by a busyish road, but it was a quiet night! This was perfect for us after coming out of the black hills exploring the national Forrest in our truck camper! Showers in truck campers when dry campy are limited! 😎 I was a bit worried about it being full of vagrants, but it wasn’t! We really appreciate the hospitality and stay for the night. I give this a five star rating for a free place, not resort camping but a beautiful place.. with FREE amenities!

This city park is right next to the river. It is a decent sized loop with picnic tables scattered through out. It is primitive so no electric, but offers a shower/bathroom. It’s first come first serve with a 2 night max stay. Fires and liquor are not allowed and you can fish if you have a permit. People are courteous and free is always a great thing.

This place was amazing!!! free hot showers! free bathhouse, free dumpsters, free rv dump, free water! right by the river in town! when you are there support the town by buying your groceries and gas while there!

This is a park that you may camp at within the city of Douglas. I was a little cautious when I pulled in thinking it may be for transients, but it was mostly van/car campers, tenters and a few pull behinds. It had a fair amount of traffic through the night, but quieted down in the middle of the night. The other people there were quiet and definately the camping crowd and knew camper etiquette. I stayed the night then moved on. It has a restroom with a shower, which is nice.

U shaped parking lot. Park area with picnic tables in the middle & one side. No fires. Pets ok. Right next to a river. Gas stations nearby. Good water pressure for filling freshwater tank. Free dump station on site. Very noisy & lots of drive-throughs overnight. A couple homeless people hanging out.

I’m from Kentucky and I know that state by state campgrounds are used for very different reasons. Riverside City Park seems to be an in transit/migrant/out of state worker kind of place. It’s very basic, park it and go. There’s a split rail fence so people won’t park in the grass. There are picnic tables and metal grills and there is shade. It’s in the city so it’s convenient and there’s access to the river. When you go on the City Site look under facilities-find a facility-facility type and features and that will get you to the phone numbers. No reservations, first come. That’s about it. I would not go here for a fun weekend with the family UNLESS you are going to the State fairgrounds right up the road.

We pulled through just to see it because it was a little early in the day to stop(12:30pm)but it was beautifully kept up...green grass, picnic tables, nice and clean and there is a river at the far end with benches!
