Granite Point

About

Granite Point campground sits within Curt Gowdy State Park, a 3,600-acre recreation area straddling the Laramie Mountains between Cheyenne and Laramie. The park features three reservoirs (Granite, Crystal, and North Crow) and is known for its rugged granite outcroppings, which attract rock climbers alongside traditional campers. The campground provides a base for fishing rainbow trout and kokanee salmon, boating, and exploring the extensive trail system. Camping at Granite Point follows the park-wide reservation system from May 15 through September 30, when sites must be booked through reserve.wyoming.gov. During the off-season (October 1 through May 14), all sites operate first-come-first-serve with no advance reservations. Note that the park does not have a dump station; the nearest options are approximately 24 miles away in Cheyenne or Laramie. Water is typically shut off October 1 for winter, though the visitor center maintains year-round flush toilets and showers.
