Get Google DirectionsLooking for a memorable way to experience the beauty, history, and wide-open views of Devils Tower? Climb aboard the nightly hayride at Devils Tower KOA and enjoy a one-of-a-kind tour through historic Campstool Ranch.
Offered nightly at 6:00 p.m., this family-friendly wagon ride gives guests a relaxing and scenic look at the ranch land surrounding the campground, along with exclusive views of Devils Tower that you won’t find from the highway or main visitor areas.
Whether you’re staying at the campground, visiting the monument, or looking for a unique evening activity, the Devils Tower KOA hayride is a fun way to slow down, take in the scenery, and enjoy a true Wyoming experience.
The hayride takes guests on a peaceful tour of Campstool Ranch, where open prairie, rolling hills, wildlife, livestock, and views of Devils Tower come together in one unforgettable ride.
As the wagon makes its way through the ranch, riders can enjoy the kind of scenery that makes northeastern Wyoming so special. From golden evening light to sweeping views of the Tower, the hayride offers a chance to see the landscape from a different perspective.
It’s a perfect activity for families, couples, photographers, and anyone who wants to enjoy the magic of Devils Tower without rushing from one stop to the next.
One of the biggest highlights of the hayride is the view.
Because the route travels through Campstool Ranch, guests are treated to exclusive views of Devils Tower that are not available from public roads or common viewing areas. These scenic vantage points make the ride especially memorable for visitors who want unique photos, peaceful surroundings, and a deeper connection to the landscape.
As the sun begins to lower in the sky, Devils Tower takes on a whole new look. The evening light brings out the textures, colors, and dramatic shape of the monument, making the 6:00 p.m. hayride a beautiful way to end the day.
The nightly hayride is designed to be enjoyable for all ages. Kids love the wagon ride, adults appreciate the scenery, and everyone gets a chance to experience a classic ranch-style outing.
It’s also a great activity to pair with other Devils Tower KOA favorites. Grab dinner or a sweet treat at Campstool Cafe, enjoy mini golf, browse the gift shop, and then settle in for the evening hayride.
After the ride, guests can continue the fun by joining the nightly showing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, offered right at the campground.
