Cheyenne RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Cheyenne RV Resort in Cheyenne, WY, offers 42 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites, 6 cabins, and 17 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 85 feet. Sites come in two categories, standard and premium pull-thrus, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Every site is a pull-thru and the maximum length is 85 feet — a long coach with a toad pulls straight through. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, a clubhouse, and a pet washing station cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, a pavilion, a playground, a pond, walking trails, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with hiking, biking, swimming, birding, and High Plains stargazing. A state park is nearby. Cheyenne is the state capital at the junction of I-25 and I-80, where the High Plains meet the Laramie Range — and the home of Cheyenne Frontier Days each July. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Frontier Days week books out a year ahead.

Cheyenne Sky RV Park

57 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Cheyenne Sky RV Park in Wyoming offers 69 RV sites and four tent sites at the crossroads of I-80 and I-25, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories join an electric-only back-in tier, with mature cottonwood shade, a playground, dog park, and general store. Sixty-nine sites span back-in electric only, back-in full hookup, and pull-through full hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet. Read the category carefully — the electric-only tier carries no water or sewer at the site and prices accordingly, which is a useful option for a self-contained overnight. Four tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, and restrooms handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature is encouraged in advance. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with a golf course and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. The cottonwood shade is worth calling out. Mature trees are a genuine rarity in the high-plains environment, and on a hot Wyoming afternoon the difference between a shaded site and an open one is substantial. Cheyenne sits where I-80 and I-25 meet, which makes it one of the most useful stops in the Mountain West, and the Wyoming State Capitol, the Cheyenne Depot Museum, and Curt Gowdy State Park are all close. Cheyenne Frontier Days in late July fills the entire city — reserve as early as you can for that week. Otherwise demand tracks interstate traffic, with summer the peak.

Laramie RV Resort

87 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Laramie RV Resort in Laramie, Wyoming, offers 87 RV sites, eight cabins, and seven tent sites with a water park, fitness center, and library, carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp service for rigs up to 74 feet. Sites range from 30-amp back-ins to deluxe and premium pull-throughs with patios, on a big-rig-friendly property at 7,165 feet on the I-80 corridor. Eighty-seven sites run from 30-amp back-ins and water-and-electric pull-throughs to 20/30-amp pull-throughs, deluxe pull-throughs, and premium pull-throughs with patios, all sized to 74 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Eight cabins and seven tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. There is no limit on the number of people included in a site rental and no charge for additional guests. The amenity set is unusually deep for a highway-corridor resort. A water park anchors warm-weather recreation, a fitness center and clubhouse run year-round, and a library and game room serve quieter hours. Billiards, a playground, and a dog park round it out, with a creek running the property. Pets are welcome. Laramie's altitude gives it cool summers when the Colorado Front Range is baking. The University of Wyoming sits in town, and the Snowy Range and Medicine Bow National Forest carry the alpine recreation that makes this one of the more underrated bases on I-80 between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City. Summer is peak for both the water park and the mountains. Reserve ahead for university event weekends, which tighten Laramie lodging considerably.

62 RV Sites, 30 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 4 Cottages, 2 Lodges

Jellystone Park Estes in Estes Park, Colorado, offers 62 full-hookup RV sites, 36 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, and nine tent sites at the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet.

The small-site categories right-size for compact rigs and vans rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Thirty-six cabins, cottages, and lodges and nine tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Check-in is 1pm for campsites and 3pm for cabins, with checkout at 11am. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, gaga ball, basketball, sports courts, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking run on site. Estes Park is one of the most sought-after mountain resort communities in the West, and the elevation keeps summers comfortable.

Lakeview Haven

28 RV Sites

Lakeview Haven in Glendo, WY, offers 28 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, and on-site dining handle the essentials, with WiFi across the property and cabins available for guests without a rig. Campfires are allowed in the public fire pits rather than at individual sites, and tents need their own tent site — you can't pitch one beside a cabin. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground and a basketball court for kids. A fishing pier on the property puts guests on the water, and the community fire pit is where the evening ends up. Glendo sits in the high plains of Platte County on the shore of Glendo Reservoir, a North Platte River impoundment known for walleye and for some of the emptiest, clearest night skies in Wyoming. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The reservoir's summer season is short and busy — reserve ahead for July and August.

Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

Tucked into the mountain scenery of Gilpin County just forty-five minutes from Denver and thirty minutes from Golden, Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon puts guests at the gateway to one of Colorado's most beloved natural playgrounds without requiring a deep-mountain commitment to reach it. Located in Black Hawk on Highway 46, the campground sits adjacent to Golden Gate Canyon State Park—12,000 acres of Front Range backcountry with 35 miles of hiking and biking trails—and just down the road from the gambling establishments of Black Hawk and Central City, creating a range of options unusual for a mountain campground of its size. Thirty-one full hookup sites accommodate big rigs with many pull-through configurations, and the mountain surroundings give even a standard RV pad a sense of the high country. Glamping cabins offer a fully outfitted alternative, each with a full-size bed and twin bunks, electric, heater, and linens provided. A well-stocked convenience store and a community fire pit serve practical and social needs, and a pavilion provides a covered gathering space for groups. Modern restrooms with heated floors and laundry facilities round out the amenity profile. Propane fills are available on-site, and the pet-friendly policy with walking trails ensures four-legged travelers are genuinely welcome. The Colorado mountains surrounding Base Camp deliver the visual drama that defines a Front Range campground at elevation. Colorful aspen groves ring the property and put on a spectacular autumn show from mid-September through early October, when golden color draws leaf-peepers from Denver and beyond. Mountain meadows, wildflower patches in early summer, and long views from the higher portions of the property give the campground a natural backdrop that changes character through the seasons. Wildlife is a regular presence—mule deer, red foxes, and an assortment of mountain birds move through on their daily rounds. Golden Gate Canyon State Park is the primary outdoor destination for guests, with trails ranging from easy meadow walks to challenging ridge hikes with views stretching to the Continental Divide. Fishing in Ralston Creek and the park's Kriley Pond is accessible within the park boundary. Black Hawk and Central City—historic mining towns that became Colorado's first legal gambling communities—are minutes away with casinos, restaurants, and entertainment options that provide a lively counterpoint to the outdoor programming. The Peak to Peak Scenic Byway passes directly through the area and connects to Rocky Mountain National Park to the north for a spectacular full-day drive. Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon operates seasonally and draws a strong mix of Denver metro residents looking for a quick mountain getaway and out-of-state visitors using it as a Front Range staging ground for broader Colorado exploration. Fall weekends during peak aspen color sell out quickly, and summer reservations should be made well in advance. The combination of Denver accessibility, a stellar state park next door, and a casino town minutes away makes Base Camp genuinely versatile across different types of campers and travelers. Book early for fall color weekends—this one fills up fast.

The category names are unusually direct — a site labeled "no sewer" tells you exactly what you are getting, and prices accordingly. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with mini-golf, a recreation center, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and pavilion filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking round it out. Monument sits on the Front Range's Palmer Divide in El Paso County, where the Rampart Range's ponderosa hills meet the Pike National Forest and Pikes Peak's 14,115-foot summit fills the western view. The Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame are all close. Summer is peak in the Colorado high country. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort

18 RV Sites, 8 Cabins

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort in Hot Springs, South Dakota, offers 18 RV sites and eight cabins on a private lake in the Black Hills' southern tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Boat, kayak, and bike rentals sit on a property offering a more intimate alternative to the Hills' larger commercial campgrounds. Eighteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eight cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. The private lake anchors the experience. Boat rentals, kayak rentals, and paddle boats put guests on the water, with fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding from the shoreline. Bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, and planned activities fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding across the property. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Fall River County where the Black Hills give way to the high plains. Wind Cave National Park preserves the transition zone's grassland and underground cave ecology just north, with a state park nearby and the full Black Hills circuit within reach — but far enough from the core tourism corridor that the campground stays quiet. Summer is peak across the Black Hills, and the August Sturgis rally tightens availability regionally. With 18 sites and a private lake, reserve well ahead for July and August.

Garden of the Gods

50 RV Sites, 12 Cabins

Garden of the Gods RV Resort in Colorado Springs offers 50 full-hookup RV sites and 12 cabins in the foothills of Pikes Peak, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Deluxe pull-through and Deluxe+ back-in categories sit near one of Colorado's most visited natural landmarks, with a clubhouse, game room, and dog park. Fifty sites run in Deluxe pull-through and Deluxe+ back-in configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Twelve cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Two policies to check before booking: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends carry a minimum-stay requirement. A clubhouse, game room, and arcade cover indoor hours, with a playground and dog park on the grounds. The resort is built as a base for the Pikes Peak corridor rather than a destination in itself, and the amenity set reflects that honestly. Pets are welcome. Garden of the Gods Park is the namesake and the neighbor — 300-million-year-old red sandstone fins and monoliths rising vertically from the plains, and one of the most visited natural landmarks in Colorado. The full Pikes Peak recreation and tourism infrastructure and Front Range metropolitan access follow from there. Summer is peak in Colorado Springs. Reserve well ahead, and confirm RV age approval if your coach is over ten years old.

Julian and Kachina Starr own and operate it. Summer is the short, intense season in the Black Hills, with the Sturgis rally week tightening the whole region. Reserve well ahead.
