Last Chance Camp

Enjoyed our stay. Easy in and out.

FIRST THING TO KNOW: The place is a private home that sits back 3/4 mile on a dirt road. There are two ways in, one off Coonrod Rd, the other off Star Valley. Both are equidistant, Star Valley was much better, Coonrod was rutted and very hard going. Must be nasty muddy when it's rainy.

Having said that, it was a nice quiet place to spend the night. Pastoral views. No site designations, just an open field.

It was our first time in Cheyenne, and we wanted to go to the rodeo and concerts. We didn't realize how big the event was so we didn't plan far enough in advance. We booked reservations about a month and a half in advance and couldn't find a campground with any kind of hookups. We found Last Chance which did advertise port-a-potties, shower and water available. We paid $54 a night for weeknights and $69 for weekends. Really expensive for a dry, dusty field. There are several rules such as if you are self-contained you can't use the port-a potties or shower and if you don't stay at least four nights then they really don't want you filling up with water. There is a rule regarding loud generators which wasn't enforced at all. People drove fast down the field ( including the people working their in golf carts) which continuously sprayed dirt in the windows of the RV. The worst part was how close together everyone was parked. We couldn't put out our awning and our slide was literally inches from the next camper. I awoke to the neighbors grilling sausages outside our bedroom window. I could have opened the window and grabbed one off their griddle. Moral of the story: This would be a LAST RESORT choice. Plan ahead and go somewhere else.
