Lakeview Haven

28 RV Sites

In the high plains of Platte County, Wyoming, along the shore of Glendo Reservoir on the North Platte River, Lakeview Haven provides a well-maintained, genuinely hospitable base camp for the kind of Wyoming outdoor experience that most coastal travelers have only seen in photographs. Glendo is a small, unpretentious ranching and reservoir town in the eastern foothills of the Laramie Range, and Lakeview Haven reflects that character—a clean, friendly campground with solid infrastructure, designed for people who come to Wyoming to fish, boat, and be outside rather than to collect resort amenities. The reservoir is the draw, and the campground delivers on access to it. Twenty-eight premium RV sites with full hookups and comfortable cabin rentals constitute the accommodation options, and the layout is specifically engineered with multiple entry and exit roads to accommodate rigs of every size from compact campers to the longest Class A motorhomes and fifth-wheel configurations. Well-maintained bathrooms and private shower facilities, a playground, laundry, and free WiFi handle the practical requirements of extended stays, and the pet-friendly policy welcomes the dogs that often accompany Wyoming-bound travelers with outdoor itineraries. The campground's team is consistently noted for the kind of attentive, genuine hospitality that reflects genuine pride in what they're offering rather than scripted welcome-center service. Glendo Reservoir, adjacent to the campground in Glendo State Park, is a 12,500-acre body of water on the North Platte River that provides outstanding fishing for walleye, bass, catfish, crappie, and yellow perch—a diversity of target species that keeps anglers busy regardless of season and preference. The reservoir's consistent wind exposure makes it a sailing and windsurfing destination of regional note, and powerboating, water skiing, and swimming are available from state park facilities within easy reach. The surrounding high-plains landscape—rolling grassland, ponderosa pine breaks, and the distant silhouette of the Laramie Range to the west—gives the setting a wide-open Wyoming character that is deeply distinctive and immediately appealing to travelers from more densely populated regions. Fort Laramie National Historic Site, one of the most significant forts in the history of the American West—the gateway through which the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails all passed—is located 30 miles southeast of Glendo and provides one of Wyoming's most substantive historical experiences. The town of Guernsey, with its spectacular Oregon Trail ruts carved five feet into solid rock by generations of westward-bound wagons, and the Guernsey State Park are an easy day trip that puts the westward migration in visceral, unforgettable physical context. Interstate 25 keeps the broader eastern Wyoming corridor accessible for travelers with itineraries extending toward Casper, Cheyenne, or the Black Hills. Lakeview Haven operates through the Wyoming outdoor recreation season, with summer representing the peak demand period for boating and fishing on Glendo Reservoir. The state park's facilities and the reservoir's reputation among walleye anglers in particular create strong summer occupancy, and reservations are recommended for July and August weekends. Spring and fall offer the fishing-focused visitor a quieter, less crowded reservoir experience with equivalent fish populations and the added attraction of the high-plains landscape in seasonal transition. Book your site, rig up the fishing poles, and let Glendo Reservoir deliver the Wyoming outdoor experience this part of the state has been building for generations.

Cheyenne RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

In Cheyenne, Wyoming—the state capital at the junction of Interstate 25 and Interstate 80 where the High Plains meets the Laramie Range's foothills and the city's identity as the Cowboy Capital of the World is most fully expressed each July during Cheyenne Frontier Days, the world's largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration—Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney provides full hookup 30 and 50-amp RV sites in pull-thru and back-in configurations, tent sites with water and electric (T01 through T11), a swimming pool, mini golf, a basketball court, a playground, a dog park, a pavilion, a convenience store, laundry, propane, firewood, WiFi throughout, ADA-accessible facilities, and banana bike rentals in a well-maintained resort that delivers the complete family campground experience at the crossroads of the two most traveled interstate highways in Wyoming. Full hookups, a pool, and mini golf in Cheyenne. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer in the pull-thru configuration that eliminates the backing challenge for larger rigs, and the T01-through-T11 tent sites with water and electric for the soft-side camper, provide the infrastructure variety that serves every arrival configuration at the I-25/I-80 interchange. The swimming pool, mini golf course, basketball court, playground, and dog park create the recreational infrastructure that keeps families entertained between the Frontier Days events and the Cheyenne city attractions, and the pavilion provides the shaded gathering space for the social campground activities that a resort-quality Wyoming campground provides. A convenience store handles the daily supply and sundry needs, laundry and propane fill manage the extended-stay logistics, and banana bike rentals offer the campground's most charming transportation option for the guests who want to explore the property at a pace that acknowledges the High Plains wind. Cheyenne sits in Laramie County at 6,062 feet on the High Plains where the semi-arid grassland landscape of southeastern Wyoming creates the backdrop for the state capital's governmental, military, and transportation functions. F.E. Warren Air Force Base, one of the oldest and largest Air Force installations in the United States, anchors the military component of the Cheyenne economy. The Wyoming State Capitol's gold dome and the extensive state government complex on Capitol Avenue provide the governmental center that Cheyenne's status as Wyoming's largest city and state capital sustains. Cheyenne Frontier Days, held the last full week of July each year, provides the world's largest outdoor rodeo with 10 days of PRCA rodeo performances, country music concerts, a military appreciation component, carnival midway, and the parade schedule that draws 200,000 visitors to the Frontier Park complex each year. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum on the Frontier Park grounds provides the year-round exhibit of western heritage, rodeo history, and the carriage collection that interprets the city's frontier identity across the calendar. The Wyoming State Museum in the Barrett Building and the Historic Governors' Mansion on E. 21st Street provide the additional state history context accessible from the downtown Cheyenne core. Cheyenne RV Resort operates year-round in the Wyoming High Plains climate, where the warm summer months from June through September provide the peak camping season during Frontier Days and the family summer travel window, and the mild fall and spring shoulder seasons reduce the crowds while maintaining the city's full attraction calendar. The wind that defines Cheyenne's microclimate—consistent westerly and northwesterly winds from the exposed High Plains position—is part of the authentic Wyoming experience the resort delivers alongside the full hookup pad. Reserve your site at Cheyenne RV Resort and let the Cowboy Capital's Frontier Days, the state capital's western heritage, and the I-25/I-80 crossroads make Cheyenne the Wyoming overnight worth lingering over.

Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains

288 RV Sites, 39 Cabins, 25 Tent Sites, 75 Cottages, 8 Airstreams, 7 Wagons

Along the headwaters of the Colorado River in Granby, Colorado—in the Grand County valley where the river's first mountain miles flow beneath the Arapaho National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park rises on the eastern horizon—Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains delivers a Colorado Rockies camping destination with resort infrastructure that most mountain campgrounds can't approach: a pool and hot tubs, two on-site bars and restaurants, massage and spa services, kayak and paddleboard dock access, a wellness center, an amphitheater, and the Continental Divide views that the Grand County valley's 8,000-foot elevation frames in every direction. Full hookup RV sites, furnished mountain cabins, glamping, and tent camping accommodate the full range of travel styles in a setting that makes it genuinely difficult to leave the property for the first afternoon. Full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer on crushed granite pads accommodate rigs up to 50 feet with room for slide-outs. Furnished mountain cabins provide the most luxurious enclosed option, and glamping and tent camping serve the guests who want the Rocky Mountain atmosphere in the most direct form. The resort's two food and beverage operations—Summit Bar and Grill and Headwaters Tavern—give guests on-site dining choices beyond the camp stove, and the outdoor patio seating at each provides the mountain view dining experience that Grand County's visual context makes genuinely exceptional with minimal effort. A pool and hot tubs serve the elevation-climate dynamic where Colorado mountain days require sun protection and Colorado nights require heat. Mini-bowling, an arcade, sport courts, and planned activities provide structured recreation, while a lake dock with paddleboarding and kayaks accesses the Colorado River headwaters environment directly. Yoga, massage and spa services, a wellness center, and an amphitheater for evening programming extend the resort's offerings well beyond standard campground expectations. An off-leash dog park completes the pet-friendly infrastructure for traveling dogs. The Colorado River headwaters flowing through Granby's valley provide the water access and the ecological beginning of one of North America's most significant rivers. The Grand Lake—Colorado's largest natural lake, two miles north of Granby—provides the most expansive open-water experience in Grand County, with kayaking, sailing, and the mountain lake character that the surrounding peaks create in every direction. Rocky Mountain National Park, accessible from the Grand Lake entrance just north of the resort, provides the most biodiverse and visually spectacular mountain terrain accessible from any campground in the Colorado Rockies. The Trail Ridge Road—crossing the Continental Divide at 12,183 feet and traversing the alpine tundra ecosystem above tree line for 11 miles—is the most dramatic paved road in the American national park system, and the fall elk rut in Rocky Mountain's meadows, occurring in September and October, draws wildlife enthusiasts specifically to Grand County for the bugling and display behavior of one of the largest elk herds in North America. Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains is open year-round in a mountain environment where summer represents the peak season for full recreational access. Winter brings snowshoeing, cross-country skiing at Granby Ranch, and the quieter character of a mountain resort between its summer and spring crowds. Fall brings the elk rut and the aspen color that makes Grand County's hillsides visually spectacular from late September through mid-October. Reserve your full hookup site, plan a Trail Ridge Road drive at sunrise, and let the Colorado River headwaters and the Continental Divide view earn what Rocky Mountain summer camping is supposed to look like.
