[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4042028, member: 45773"] We went but it was nearly 25 years ago. We stayed in an RV park/campground somewhere near the park. It was nice and quiet with pancake breakfasts and cookouts at night. My biggest recommendation would be make sure you have plenty of fuel driving thru eastern Wyoming. We stopped for snacks or a drink in Lusk and I decided not to top off with fuel because I had over 3/4 tank. I was driving a Chevy 1/2 ton and pulling a <4,000 pound trailer. It was windy. When we turned north on the highway from Lusk to Newcastle (about a 75 or 80 mile stretch) the wind was directly out of the north (as usual in WY) and it was like driving into a wall. By the time we were 10 or 11 miles from Newcastle my "Fuel" light was on. There was no way we were gonna make it. I found a spot to pull over, unhooked the trailer, put a bike in the back and left for fuel. I don't recall the size of the tank on that pickup but it seems I put about 1/2 gal more in the truck than the listed capacity. [/QUOTE]
