Larson Park Campground
Overview
Larson Park Campground is a charming municipal destination located in the heart of Guernsey, Wyoming. Known for its lush canopy of mature trees and peaceful atmosphere, this park offers a welcoming retreat for travelers navigating the historic trails of the West. It provides a relaxed, community-focused environment that serves as an excellent base for exploring the rich pioneer history and natural beauty of the surrounding Platte River Valley.
Location & Surroundings
The campground is situated on the edge of town, offering a perfect balance between convenience and natural serenity. It sits just a short distance from the banks of the North Platte River, where the sound of the water and the rustle of cottonwood leaves create a calming backdrop. While it feels secluded, the park is within walking distance of local services, allowing visitors to enjoy the quietude of the Wyoming plains while staying connected to the small-town charm of Guernsey.
Amenities & Park Features
This park is designed to accommodate a variety of travelers, offering spacious pull-thru sites and back-in options equipped with both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Guests have access to essential facilities including clean restrooms, showers, and a playground for families. Each site typically includes a picnic table and fire ring, perfect for evening relaxation. The abundant shade provided by the park's old-growth trees is a standout feature, offering a cool respite from the summer sun that many other high-plains campgrounds lack.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
History is the primary draw for this area, as the park is located just minutes from the Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic Site, where visitors can see deep wagon tracks carved into the sandstone. Another must-visit is Register Cliff, where thousands of westward-bound pioneers etched their names into the stone. For those seeking outdoor recreation, Guernsey State Park is nearby, offering miles of hiking trails, boating, and unique Civilian Conservation Corps architecture that blends seamlessly with the rocky landscape.
Who This Park Is Best For
Larson Park Campground is ideal for history buffs and road-trippers looking for a quiet, low-stress stopover with deep cultural significance. It is a fantastic choice for families who want a safe, shaded environment where children can play freely. If you prefer the authentic feel of a community park over the commercial atmosphere of large-scale RV resorts, this campground provides the simple comforts and scenic beauty necessary for a memorable Wyoming adventure.

I spent a night between two driving days here. The price was very reasonable. This is the only place I"ve ever stayed where they charged less if you only needed electric hook-up. It was off season, but I called late in the afternoon, arrived at closing time and was treated very cordially.

Passing through and stayed for one night. Marilyn checked me in quickly and was very pleasant and friendly. The RV sites are gravel with grass behind them and there is a small children's playground. The golf course is next to the few RV sites as well. The location is quiet and feels safe. I went to the nearby historic sites, the Oregon trail wagon ruts and Register Cliff, both worth viewing if you enjoy history. It's true that there is no RV dump on site however, I was told that the rest area about 15 miles down the road at I-25 has a free RV dump, although I did not personally check into this yet. I will definitely stay here again.

Water / Electric only. There are "ruts" through the golf course. They are hard to see here. The Trail Ruts display site has the deep trenches and Signed Wall historic site. All the trails west went through here. The wheels cut into the linestone - leaving RUTS. Mind boggling.
