In the vast expanse of Wyoming, at the foothills of the Laramie Mountains, you’ll find a state park steeped in picturesque natural luxury. Curt Gowdy State Park looks like a painting. It's located midway between Laramie and downtown Cheyenne, and an hour north of Fort Collins, CO.

In 1971, the National Boy Scouts of America and the city of Cheyenne agreed to make this great plot of land off of Route 210 a state park. They named it after Curt Gowdy, a beloved sportscaster who was popular in the '60s and '70s. He was the “Voice of the Red Sox” and grew up in Wyoming.

In addition to its natural beauty and expansive list of outdoor activities, Curt Gowdy State Park has an amphitheater that regularly hosts concerts and other cultural events throughout the year. Whether you’re a nature photographer, hiker, biker, angler, or general outdoor enthusiast, Curt Gowdy State Park has you covered. Rent an RV in Laramie County today and start planning your trip.

Exploring the Area

Whether you’re in town to go shopping, have a nice dinner, or see a big concert, this city has everything you’ll need for a memorable experience.

If you’re looking for an authentic Mountain States experience, take the short drive west to Laramie. Learn to dress like a cowboy and visit a high-energy rodeo. Make sure to check out the Art Museum or the Laramie Plains Museum. Or, stop by the Ames Monument or Lincoln Monument. The University of Wyoming is located in Laramie, which gives the area a fun, young spirit as well. Take a walking tour, go for a hike, or learn all about the area’s history.

Just north of the park, you’ll find “a small town with a big heart.” Chugwater has a friendly, welcoming community that just wants to show you around. You’ll have to visit the Chugwater Museum, which has over 3,000 photographs, documents, and letters that keep the history of Chugwater’s history alive. Enjoy some local grub, and, if your timing is good, check out the annual Chugwater Chilli Cookoff.

You won't find many gas stations in the immediate vicinity; however, Cheyenne is a 55-mile drive east of the park and is full of all the amenities you’ll need to get back on the road. You can top off the gas tank of your camper rental, try some local cuisine, and get prepared for the next leg of your trip. If you’re up to it, I-25 can take you directly from Cheyenne to the big city of Denver, Colorado.
