This was the best campground, well kept up. The owners are the nicest people. They accommodate whatever you need. Place for kids to play in the park place to fish. Love laugh Laundry at your service. Shower houses at your service.

Large spots to pull through. Some of the “residents” could tidy up their area. Seemed safe and quiet. Good for one night stay, reasonable prices.

They went above any beyond for us. I can't say enough! IDont have 1 bad thing to say! Park is clean, and well maintained. Has showers, laundry room, located by the Platte River with walking trails. Doggie Play Pens. Great views of the mountains. Right by all the amenities without the city chaos. Peaceful. WiFi. We will definitely be back!!

I was able to get in the night before with a pull through site. However I was between the telephone pole and the electric post, so not enough room to put the awning out. It was quiet at night and everyone respected the speed limit. They have a nice hiking trail around the park as well as a few pawns and the Platte River at the edge of the property. There is a playground for the kids that even has an old school phone booth in it. I did not use any of the facilities, but the office was just that, no camp store with food or beverages. The downside for me was it was just a gravel parking lot and only a few sites had shade. The other thing I found really disappointing was the amount of trash around the property, from the playground to the sites to the facility in general. There was also two piles of dog poop at my site when I arrived. Lastly this is not a destination resort with all the amenities, they do have shower and laundry, but the majority of the campers here are long-term and several of the units looked like they were 20 years old or more with lots of stuff stored outside and junk around them. If you're looking for an overnight stay this will do, as it's a safe area and very close to downtown Casper for food and drinks.

Definitely giving a 10/10 for this stay! We were traveling through to Montana and the Google reviews alone help choose here to begin with and it didn’t disappoint at all. Customer service was great Nicole was nice and the hospitality was great! Yes lots of long term RVs but there was no issues. We tent camped, they provide beautiful big sites with platforms for tents to be on. Backed up right next to the river which was great to fish & walk the dogs on. Clean and convenient dog parks for the dogs. Showers and restrooms were clean. Definitely saved it for future visits for us!
