Camping near Gillette

Wyoming’s third largest city by population, Gillette has much more to offer than its reputation as the “energy capital” of the United States suggests. Located between Bighorn National Forest and Black Hills National Forest, Gillette is the gateway to the striking Devil's Tower‌ National Monument. It’s a thrilling road trip, taking you past lakeside Pine Haven and Keyhole State Park along the way. There’s fun to be had in the city, too. Once you’ve toured the Eagle Butte Coal Mine and visited the state’s largest bison ranch, check out the Rockpile Museum or watch a rodeo at the CAM-PLEX events arena. Campers can check into one of Gillette’s RV parks, many of which offer pull-thru sites with full hookups within walking distance of downtown. Alternatively, there are plenty of tent camping and RV sites at the nearby national forests and state parks.
