The best mountainous camping near Cheyenne

·
Experience the Wild West in Cheyenne, the capital city of Wyoming. In town, immerse yourself in cowboy culture at the rodeo and the CFD Old West Museum. Then, head into the Laramie Mountains for fishing, hiking, biking, and hunting. With a vast variety of RV parks and campgrounds, it’s easy to find a cozy home base. Get away from it all with a lakeside site at Curt Gowdy State Park’s 12 campgrounds. At Aspen Grove, you’ll even find a corral for your horses. Located near two reservoirs off of I-80, this massive park is popular with anglers and boaters. On land, you can bike singletrack or climb in the rock garden. If you’re bringing horses, Aspen Grove is your jam. For wooded RV and tent sites, head into the Medicine Bow National Forest. At Vedauwoo, scramble granite rock formations or hike through fields of wildflowers. Campsites here have picnic tables and fire rings; book early to get a spot. Or, head to Tie City Campground for first-come, first-served spots near mountain-bike trails.

King’s Canyon

4. King’s Canyon

41mi from Cheyenne · 1 site · Lodging · Laporte, CO
This is a new Hipcamp listing! We have several years of 5 star reviews on other sites, with a proven history of happy Glampers. King’s Canyon is taking reservations for spring. It is closed from October through February. Nestled in a private canyon just 20 minutes from Fort Collins, this 5-star RV stay offers the perfect escape. Don’t worry about rv parks, dump stations, and utilities. It’s all taken care of for you, nestled on a custom dug terrace overlooking my private canyon. Sunrises and sunsets are a dream! This RV is parked for you, set, and ready to enjoy. City water is on site via a 250 gallon fresh water tank (I fill it for each visitor). I also take care of the sewage and grey tanks for every visitor. This is an off grid property, with all the amenities you need. There is no cell service, but I have you covered. Starlink satellite is on site, and gives you super fast, high speed connection. Enjoy 20 acres of wildflowers, quiet nights, and stunning canyon views. Firewood is provided for your camp fire, in either of the two fire pits just steps from the rv. A nearby shed also offers a place for luggage, trash storage, etc and gives you more room in the rv. The RV is solar-powered with a backup diesel generator. and fully equipped for comfort. It has a queen size bed, two bunk beds, and a convertible dining table that makes into another full sized bed. Sleep 5 in comfort. Adventure nearby: fish the Poudre River (10 minutes) or catch live music at Mishawaka Amphitheater (20 minutes). Peace. Quiet. Spring colors. Adventure. Kings Canton is tucked away, and access isn’t too bad. I have spent 8 years rebuilding the road for access by most vehicles. Four wheel drive is recommended just in case, but not necessary. The private road has loose gravel in spots. Most SUVs can access. I have had my Ford Focus and my Toyota Prius up there (although some people say I’m crazy). I don’t recommend kings canyon for anyone with fear of heights! The roads are safe, but there are steep drops and switchbacks. Explore my property and witness hummingbird migrations. They fly here from Mexico. If you’re unsure about access, or anything else, please message me prior to booking and I’ll give you my honest assessment. No one knows Kings Canyon better than I do!
