Hello All,
Just left Spearfish, SD area after a delightful 9 days / 8 nights there. We stayed at Chris' Camp - great folks, large sites, restrooms and laundry very good.
We decided to spend a few days in the central Wyoming area following some pioneer trails. Decided Casper, Wy would be a good "home base" for day trips to the west.
Suprisingly, there isn't too much to choose from in Casper. We opted to stay at Casper East rv park - because of close proximity to I-25 -unfortunately - the rail yards too.
The park did call us and warn of weather - high winds - on our way - great service on their part. We did have to take substitution for one of our party - some campers chose not to depart till next day.
The park worked with all to surmount the wind problems.
The plus column - great manager help / clean, large bath,shower rooms. Good cable TV for the evenings.
The minus column - crowded spaces,tight parking, very limited patchs of grass, undependable WIFI - again - claimed to be weather related.
Our Woodalls book had the directions all wrong and took a turnaround up the hill and a call to the front dest to find the entrance - very easy to miss.
We checked out the other offerings in the area - all about the same - lots of gravel, limited or no shade, crowded parking, ect.
We're going inland tomorrow to find greener pastures.
Someone could make a fortune here in Casper by opening a spacious, grassy park - much lacking in this area.
Unless there is a "hidden Treasure" here - like the one(s) in the Spearfish area - we probably won't be spending another night here in Casper - we'll look elsewhere.
BTW - the website for Casper East RV looked pretty good, until you realize the pix are from 2004.
