Campgrounds and RV parks near Laramie, WY

RV rental in Laramie is one of the most affordable ways to explore southeast Wyoming, with travel trailers often starting around $90 to $150 per night and motorhome rentals in Laramie typically running $150 to $300 per night depending on size and season. Class A motorhomes and luxury fifth wheels sit at the higher end, while campervans and smaller trailers are a great cheap RV rental Laramie option. Summer weekends and University of Wyoming football game weekends drive prices up fastest, so booking a midweek trip in June or early September is the smartest way to save. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book on RVezy to lock in a great rate without waiting on host approval.

Good news: for nearly every RV on the platform, a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Laramie. Wyoming only requires a non-commercial Class B license if your motorhome exceeds 26,000 pounds, and a non-commercial Class A if you're also towing more than 10,000 pounds, weights that the vast majority of Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers fall well below. You'll also need to be 25 or older, and RVezy confirms your ID through the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit from your home auto association before you fly, and you're cleared to hit Highway 130 toward the Snowy Range.

Every RV rental in Laramie, WY booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can drive the Snowy Range Scenic Byway or I-80 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers most damages to the vehicle (it isn't traditional insurance, but it provides strong financial protection), and you choose your coverage level during checkout, not the host. That means you decide how much extra peace of mind makes sense for your Laramie RV trip. Pro tip: bumping up to a higher-tier plan is usually only a few dollars more per night and well worth it on Wyoming's gusty, gravel-shouldered backroads.

Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, and every reservation includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. After that, your refund depends on how far out you cancel from your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy will help you rebook or provide a refund or travel credit. You'll see the exact cancellation timeline during checkout and in your booking confirmation. Pro tip: if a late-spring snowstorm hits the Snowies right before your trip, contact RVezy support, they'll walk you through your options.

Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental Laramie options, and Wyoming is one of the most dog-welcoming states you'll ever road trip through. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see listings that welcome your pup, and check the listing for any pet fees or size limits. Once you're here, your dog will love Laramie RV Resort's on-site dog park, the leash-friendly trails in Vedauwoo Recreation Area, and the wide-open paths around Curt Gowdy State Park's Granite Reservoir. Pro tip: pack a long lead and plenty of water, Laramie sits at 7,220 feet, so dogs tire faster than they do at lower elevations.

Yes, RV delivery Laramie is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many Laramie hosts will drive the rig directly to Laramie RV Resort, Curt Gowdy State Park, Vedauwoo Campground, or even your Airbnb driveway, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are usually based on mileage from the host's location, and you'll see the option (and price) right on the listing. Pro tip: delivery to a campground means you skip driving a big rig down I-80 in Wyoming's famous crosswinds, perfect for nervous first-timers.

You've got incredible range from Laramie, and many hosts offer generous mileage packages, including RV rental with unlimited mileage on select listings. Each host sets their own daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 free miles per day) along with a per-mile overage fee, all clearly shown on the listing before you book. From Laramie you can reach Rocky Mountain National Park in about 2 hours, Cheyenne in 50 minutes, Saratoga Hot Springs in about 90 minutes via the Snowy Range Scenic Byway, and Yellowstone's south entrance in roughly 7 hours. Pro tip: if you're planning a long RV road trip from Laramie, message the host first and ask about an unlimited-mileage add-on.

Laramie is spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping. Best campgrounds near Laramie include Curt Gowdy State Park (halfway to Cheyenne off Happy Jack Road, with 159 sites around Granite and Crystal Reservoirs and 44 electric hookup sites), Laramie RV Resort on West Baker Street (full hookups, pull-throughs, paved pads at 7,200 feet), Vedauwoo Campground in Medicine Bow National Forest (incredible granite rock formations 15 minutes east), Ryan Park Campground on the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (49 sites at 8,009 feet), and Yellow Pine Campground (19 forested sites at 8,400 feet). Pro tip: Curt Gowdy reservable sites open May 1 through September 30, book early through reserve.wyoming.gov.

Late June through mid-September is the sweet spot for an RV trip from Laramie, when daytime highs sit in the mid-70s to mid-80s°F and nights cool to a sleep-perfect 40s°F. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway (Highway 130) only opens after Memorial Day weekend once snowplows clear the 10,800-foot pass, and it usually closes again by mid-November. September is a local favorite: the aspens turn gold, crowds thin out, and University of Wyoming football brings the town to life on Saturdays. Pro tip: skip July 4th weekend if you want quiet campgrounds, and aim for the second or third week of September to catch peak fall color in the Snowies and along Happy Jack Road.

Yes, winter RV rental in Laramie WY is absolutely an option, and it's an underrated adventure if you love snowmobiling, ice fishing on Lake Hattie, or skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area. Look for listings with four-season packages: heated tanks, propane furnaces, skirting, and 30/50-amp shore power hookups. Laramie averages about 50 inches of snow a year with January highs around 30°F, so plan to stay at a winterized park like Laramie RV Resort that keeps water service running, and avoid Highway 130 over Snowy Pass, which closes mid-November. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm the rig is winter-ready and ask if they include extra propane tanks for cold nights.

You'll be in great shape, first time renting an RV in Laramie is easier than most cities because traffic is light, parking lots are huge, and your host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, water, propane, and the dump station. Start with a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Laramie to build confidence, then head somewhere forgiving like Happy Jack Road toward Curt Gowdy State Park before tackling I-80. Hosts are reachable by message throughout your trip, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every RVezy booking through the protection plan. Pro tip: do a slow lap around an empty large parking lot before your first highway stretch, it's a great way to get used to the rig's size and turning radius.

Take a breath, you're covered. Every Laramie RV rental booked on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, whether you're parked at Vedauwoo, stopped along I-80 near Buford, or up at Brooklyn Lake at 10,500 feet. One phone call gets you tire help, jump-starts, fuel delivery, lockout service, or a tow to the nearest qualified shop. Your host is also just a message away for quirks specific to their rig. Pro tip: cell service drops fast once you climb into Medicine Bow National Forest, so screenshot the roadside assistance number and your host's contact before you leave Laramie.

Cross-state travel is fair game and one of the best parts of an RV road trip from Laramie. You can roll south into Colorado for Rocky Mountain National Park (about 2 hours), west to Utah's Flaming Gorge, north to Yellowstone and the Tetons, or east toward Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, all popular routes that hosts expect. Trips into Canada may be possible depending on the host and the rig's insurance, so message the host before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage doesn't extend across that border. Pro tip: a classic 7-day loop runs Laramie to Grand Teton to Yellowstone and back, about 1,100 miles total.

Fuel is one of the biggest budget lines on any Laramie RV trip, but Wyoming helps you out: Albany County's average gas price has consistently ranked among the three cheapest in the state in 2026. Expect roughly 8 to 10 mpg in a Class C motorhome, 6 to 8 mpg in a Class A, and 12 to 18 mpg in a campervan or truck-towed travel trailer. For a 500-mile loop in a Class C, budget around 55 to 65 gallons. Fill up in Laramie or Cheyenne before heading into the mountains, prices climb in remote areas. Pro tip: the Pilot off I-80 Exit 316 in Laramie is a go-to fuel stop with easy RV-friendly pull-through lanes.

For Curt Gowdy State Park and the popular Forest Service campgrounds along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway, book as early as you possibly can, ideally 3 to 4 months ahead for summer weekends. Wyoming residents can reserve Curt Gowdy 120 days out and non-residents 113 days out via reserve.wyoming.gov, while Medicine Bow National Forest sites at Vedauwoo, Ryan Park, and Brooklyn Lake go live on recreation.gov six months in advance. Private parks like Laramie RV Resort are usually more flexible, especially midweek. Pro tip: if your dates are full, set a cancellation alert, last-minute openings on weekends near Granite Reservoir are surprisingly common, especially in early June and after Labor Day.

Laramie sits at 7,220 feet on the high plains, so a few local quirks are worth knowing. I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne is famous for strong crosswinds and occasional ground blizzards, the Wyoming Department of Transportation will close it during severe weather, and you can check 511 or wyoroad.info before you drive. Summer afternoons can bring fast-moving thunderstorms with hail in the Snowy Range, so plan mountain drives for mornings. Watch for wildlife (pronghorn, deer, and moose at higher elevations) at dawn and dusk. Pro tip: if I-80 closes, Highway 287 north to Rawlins or Highway 230 south through Woods Landing make beautiful, slower backup routes back to Laramie.

Campgrounds around Laramie span the full range, from luxury full-hookup resorts to rugged forest sites with just a fire ring. Laramie RV Resort offers 30/50-amp full hookups, Wi-Fi, laundry, and a dog park. Curt Gowdy State Park has 44 electric (50-amp) sites, vault toilets at campgrounds, and flush toilets plus coin-operated showers at the visitor center, water is shut off October 1. Medicine Bow National Forest sites at Vedauwoo and Ryan Park typically offer potable water, vault toilets, and trash service in summer only, no electric hookups. Dump stations are available at Laramie RV Resort and the Flying J off I-80. Pro tip: top off fresh water in Laramie before heading into the Snowies.

Most Laramie RV rentals are surprisingly well-equipped for both summer Snowy Range adventures and chilly fall football weekends. Expect comfortable sleeping for 2 to 8 (queen beds, convertible dinettes, bunkbeds in family rigs), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, propane furnace and A/C, seatbelts for every passenger in motorhomes, and a house battery plus shore power hookup. Many include a generator, awning, outdoor speakers, and even a flat-screen TV. Wi-Fi varies, cell-based hotspots work fine in town but expect dead zones in Medicine Bow National Forest. Pro tip: ask the host about a propane fire pit, they're allowed during most Wyoming fire restrictions when wood fires aren't.

Hosts in Laramie offer a fantastic menu of add-ons to customize your trip: linens and kitchen kits, camp chairs and outdoor tables, generators, bike racks, BBQs, fishing gear, even kayaks and snowshoes. Delivery and setup is a popular add-on, especially to Curt Gowdy or Vedauwoo. Mileage policies vary by listing (most include 100 to 150 free miles per day with a per-mile fee beyond that) and some offer unlimited mileage upgrades. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Laramie, with a 30 to 60 minute orientation included. Pro tip: bundle delivery, a linen package, and a generator add-on into one booking conversation, hosts often discount when you ask about multiple items at once.

Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card when you book, never directly to the host. Your total includes the nightly rate, any add-ons, taxes, fees, and your chosen protection plan. A refundable security deposit is held separately (not charged) on your card before pickup, the exact amount is shown on each listing and depends on the rig's value. As long as you return the RV in the condition you received it, with the agreed mileage and fuel level, the hold is released after your trip. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos and a quick video at both pickup and dropoff in Laramie, it's the easiest way to avoid any deposit questions later.
