Western Hills Campground

First of all, there is a sign at the front desk offering a free gift if you will post a 5 star review and bring it in and show them. That must explain all the 5 star ratings for a dirty, unlevel gravel parking lot.

I would have given it 1 star, but it has a dog park, although the doggie waste was literally overflowing onto the ground and laundry facilities, though some of the dryers were not working and not labeled as Out of Order. The picnic tables need some repair. They have a laundromat and that was a plus, but when I went in, another camper was mad because he just paid to use 3 dryers, and two of them didn't heat up. (He discovered that after waiting 20 minutes only to find his clothes were still soaking wet.

The site is not that cheap. I've camped in beautiful state parks, under cypress trees for $22 a night. The going rate here is $38. I have solar power and a full fresh water tank so asked for a spot with no hookups. I also got a Good Sam discount and it still cost me $25 to park in what looks like a drive-in movie from the '50's.

The place is VERY noisy. There is a field adjacent to my site where kids are riding dirt bikes. Sounds like a nest of angry hornets. The wind blows constantly (I guess that's just how it is in Wyoming) and stirs up the dust from the gravel parking lot. I've stayed at Walmart's with more ambience. I used to live near train tracks, so I find the sound of a train's whistle and clickety-clack a bit soothing (usually) The train noise here is not pleasant.

I am really starting to question Campendium user's reviews. The fact that the reviews of this campground use words like "cute," "Clean," and Level sites is total BS. I guess it pays to offer a "free gift" for a dishonest, but positive review.

We called the same day on our way from Boise and were able to reserve a spot with full hook-ups, no cable. The entire park is gravel but our site was perfectly level from side to side and only slightly off front to back. All the sites have a picnic table. Hook-ups worked just fine. I really liked that they had fenced, off-leash dog areas. Cell signal was great - we streamed our Roku off our mi-fi with zero problem (Verizon.) I know other reviewers mentioned train noise but I use a white noise machine and earplugs and heard nothing. This is a great spot to stop when traveling though.

We stayed here as a stop over. Pretty cute little spot. There is a small store in office. They have miniature golf, dog park area, laundry, playground and pull thru sites.

There is free wifi that gives me 5 bars, but for some reason my stuff still wont load when I'm connected. Good Verizon service, poor ATT service.

But the train blows its whistle all night long. Woke me from a dead sleep at midnight and again 2 other times. If you're a light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

We made an advance reservation and this park only asks for $10 for reservations. Service is excellent and access is very good. Sites are level of very nearly so even though all of the park is graveled. One negative is that the lack of shade. There is a playground and miniature golf. It is a very busy park and this area has limited water availability so most campgrounds do not have grass. The park is very busy and All sites are pull through. They have full hookup with cable, Electric only, and dry camping areas. For the overnight visitor this is as near perfect as you will find. We will be staying here again on our return trip. It is far enough from the highway to have no road noise at all. Power is excellent, but wifi seems to be up and down, probably due to bandwidth use.

Stayed here one night while traveling along highway 80. Is it always this windy in Wyoming? We had to be very careful when opening the RV door so the wind wouldn't tear it off. We didn't open the awning and we didn't open the slides. The wind did calm down around sunset. The park is a large gravel parking lot with hookups. No shade. No trees. Site were pretty level and plenty deep for our 33-foot RV and toad. The roadway between the rows of sites was wide, so there were no tight corners. The showers, restrooms and laundry were outstanding! Clean, modern, and in excellent working condition. The laundry room had a table, chairs, sofa, and a rolling laundry basket for transferring clothes from washer to dryer.

Easy on/off I80. Perfect for overnights on the way to/fro. Rate is with discounts (AAA, Good Sam, military) huge flat spots, cable extra, WiFi marginal/variable but exists. Dry and windswept like most camping in these parts. Nice spot to watch a dry prairie mountain foothill sunset. Watered areas for playground and dog walk. Well-kept. Much effort has been made to make this place nice. ALOT like a KOA for convenience but cheaper. Low/no road noise.
