Devils Tower KOA

We have a petting zoo! We have a miniature Longhorn steer, a calf, bum lambs and a baby buffalo. Miniature horses, mini donkeys, mini pot belly pigs and miniature fainting goats, ducks, geese, and rabbits! OH MY! All these animals up close and personal. You can pet and feed the critters.

Our area abounds with wildlife native to the Black Hills of Wyoming. Don’t be surprised to see a whitetail deer wandering through your campsite, or a raccoon exploring in the moonlight. There is also a wonderful collection of birds around the campground, including many varieties of woodpeckers, bluebirds, swallows, finches, robins and the Wyoming state bird, the meadowlark. You may see the American Bald Eagle circling or a flock of wild turkeys along the river.

Devils Tower was first climbed on July 4th  1893 by local ranchers William Rodgers and William Ripley.      It has been a popular climbing destination and world famous climbing mecca for decades  Our resident climbing instructor is available for rock climbing lessons and/or guide service. Inquire at the front desk.

Devils Tower KOA Campground is the filming site for the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  We show the movie nightly at no charge to campers in the shadow of Devils Tower.

Devils Tower KOA offers a nightly hayride through the ranch.  The hayride takes 1 hour plus and goes through some of the most senic areas of Northeast Wyoming.  The ranch (Campstool Ranch) is one of the oldest ranches in Wyoming and is owned by the same family as the KOA.  The family has been ranching since 1851.  A large variety of animals are seen on the hayride including Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Miriam Turkeys, Fox, Coyote, Bald Eagles, Skunks and a wide variety of other animals as well as viewing ranching operations.
