Lovell Camper Park

Only a few sites accommodate 40 ft+, but only 1other camper when we arrived. Shade a welcome relief from 90+ temps. Dump station with fresh & non-potable H2O. Quiet, except for what sounded like a dog shelter across the street-baying, barking and whining intermittently both day & night. Fans covered the noise, though.

Visit Bighorn Canton NRA and look for wild mustangs & Bighorn sheep in addition to Horseshoe Bend overlook.

Looking for a spot to pull over for the night. Ended up spending 3 nights! Sign says closed, but people camped every night or pulled through to use the dump. Bathrooms were closed. Fresh water faucets excellent. Small playground. Next to the town’s ball field. Large pull through sites, but also smaller sites for small campers or tents. Most with grills and picnic tables. Information board had some suggestions of things to see, so we stayed for the max of 3 nights. Day tripped into Bighorn National Forest to Medicine Wheel Historic site near the top of Bald Mountain. Awesome hike and views! 10% grade for several miles on the drive up and back, so glad we left the camper in town. Next day, drove into Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area for the views and a hike. Many people boating in the canyon. Forest and park campgrounds were full over the weekend, so glad we had a free spot in town and in the shade with good cellular (so better?). Grocery store, gas station, car/RV wash in town. Quiet at night, train nearby a few times a day. We left a $10 per night donation.

The sign at the entrance has a closed sign on it but no gate so I planned to use the dump station and move on. I found another camper setup but they were gone so I couldn’t ask questions. After a few minutes I decided why not. The bathrooms are closed but the rest of the park is functional, guess it’s a COVID thing. Anyway, very quiet, very clean and lots of shade. Picnic tables and grills at each site. Potable and non potable water clear marked.

Hidden jewell in Lovell, Wy. In an area where it is hard to find campgrounds, it is well shaded by trees, with about 10 gravel sites. We are a Ford F350 pickup pulling a 35” Montana 5th wheel. No problem getting in. Dry camping, but there is potable water, showers and a dump on site. Thanks to the City of Lovell for providing this free RV camping area for us tired travelers.

This place has everything going for it… It’s in a quiet little Wyoming town… It has great amenities as far as clean showers, potable water and, an RV dump… oh and did I mention that it’s FREE!!!! But the downside is, the people that pull up in their big motorhomes that leave their generators on all day and all night and never leave their motorhome… Why ever leave your home from wherever you’re from then? This is a very small campground and the need to be courteous to your neighbors is quite apparent. There seem to be a few people actually living in this campground and they are very courteous and turn their generators off so others can sleep. But next to me was a big motorhome that pulled in close, the shades closed and, turned the generator on and never turned it off....all night… They didn’t come out once… I hope they leave tomorrow because I’m here for the next two nights for work and I don’t want to see them or hear them. The moral to the story is...just be courteous when you’re in the small campgrounds… If you can’t be courteous and turn your generator off then go somewhere where you can dry camp with nobody around you because we all want to sleep… It’s not all about you. Otherwise, this is a fabulous place and I thank the town of Lovell for offering this. Besides that… I found a great laundromat in town and went to the library that has very good Wi-Fi and updated all of my computer back ups and iPhone apps… Despite the noisy travelers !!!!
