With so many outdoor attractions, a trip to Wyoming is rarely about the cities. However, with Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park at its doorstep, Jackson is by far the most popular town for tourists getting an RV rental in Wyoming. Throughout the summer, you catch a rodeo on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with fast-paced events like bull and bronco riding. Every evening during the summer, there’s also a mock shootout held in the town square to honor Jackson’s Old West roots as a surly community full of outlaws. While Jackson retains its cowboy aesthetic, the downtown area is packed with trendy restaurants, lively bars, and galleries selling works from local artists. Accommodations in Jackson can fill up quickly during peak season. Fortunately, there’s the Jackson Hole/Snake River KOA about 15 minutes' drive south of town. Being slightly removed from Jackson, it’s a bit quieter, and you won’t need to worry about traffic. Sites have full hookups, waterfront access to the Snake River, and shuttles that can ferry you to major tourist attractions so you won’t need to search for parking in town. In the opposite corner of the state is Wyoming’s capital city, Cheyenne. Cheyenne is only a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, which gives it a slightly more cosmopolitan feel compared to the rest of the state. Don’t worry, though, Cheyenne sticks to its roots, with one of its more popular celebrations being the annual Frontier Days at the end of July. Events include rodeos, a parade, carnival rides, and concerts by big-name recording artists. To get a more comprehensive sense of Cheyenne’s history, check out the state museum, which covers everything from the founding of Yellowstone National Park to how Wyoming was the first in the nation to give women the right to vote. For great camping in southeastern Wyoming, try the Cheyenne KOA just off Interstate 80. Sites there come with full hookups along with access to a pool, a mini-golf course, and a dog park. The campground also has laundry facilities and a camp kitchen area, giving you the sense that you’ve got all the comforts of home. While Jackson is often the first stopping point for visitors entering Yellowstone from Wyoming, on the park’s eastern edge is the lesser-known gem of Cody. The town is most famous for being founded by Western icon, Buffalo Bill. A massive museum dedicated to the man and all things cowboy is Cody’s most popular attraction. You could easily spend the whole day looking at antique firearms, bison skulls, and learning the true history of “how the west was won,” rather than the glossed-over version seen in Old West films. Cody is also a popular stopover before heading out to the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, which has loads of hiking, kayaking, and angling opportunities for travelers wanting to get off the beaten path. If you’re looking for a great place to camp in Cody, the Cody KOA should be at the top of your list. Not only does it have full hookups, a pool, hot tubs, and a dog park, but park staff can arrange tours of Cody’s best attractions. If you’d prefer to keep the RV parked, rent a bike on-site and cycle around Cody. Down in the southwestern corner of the state is one of Wyoming’s most underrated towns to visit: Rock Springs. It’s considered the gateway to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and the Killpecker Sand Dunes. Just outside of Rock Springs, there’s also the Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Loop, where you can see majestic horses, along with bighorn sheep and antelope in a completely natural setting. You don’t have to leave town to enjoy all that Rock Springs has to offer, though; Western Wyoming Community College has a fantastic natural history museum complete will full-scale dinosaur skeletons found in the area. There’s also the city museum detailing the fascinating exploits of outlaw Butch Cassidy and the trains that he robbed. Rock Springs/Green River KOA is one of the best places to camp when you get an RV rental near Rock Springs. Like many of the other KOAs in Wyoming, it has a pool, full hookups, and a dog park. The campground also has some extra long sites capable of accommodating rigs up to 90 feet in length. Wyoming is a state of extremes, from vast prairies to soaring peaks and old-time cowboys to downhill skiers. It’s never boring though, and an RV road trip from Jackson to Cheyenne with stops at Flaming Gorge and Devils Tower should be on everyone’s bucket list. Like those who settled the Cowboy State, you just need a sense of adventure and the willingness to endure some long stretches of trail (or highway).
