Discovering Douglas – The Home of the Jackalope
The town of Douglas is a treasure trove of Western lore. Just five minutes from the campground, you can visit Jackalope Square to see the iconic statue of the world's most famous "fearsome critter." Legend has it that the Jackalope, a cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope, was first spotted here in the 1930s. Don't forget to stop by the Chamber of Commerce to pick up your official Jackalope Hunting License! But the town is more than just folklore. Douglas is a vibrant community with a rich agricultural and industrial heart. Downtown Douglas offers charming boutiques, local eateries, and a sense of hospitality that is hard to find in the modern world. It is a place where people still wave as you pass by and where the history of the West is a living, breathing part of daily life.

Frontier History and Cultural Treasures 
For history buffs, the area surrounding the Douglas KOA is a goldmine.
Wyoming Pioneer Memorial Museum Located on the Wyoming State Fairgrounds, this museum is one of the most comprehensive collections of pioneer history in the state. From authentic sheep wagons to Plains Indian artifacts, the museum tells the story of the men and women who braved the Oregon and Mormon Trails to build a life in the West. 
Douglas Railroad Interpretive Center The railroad was the lifeblood of Wyoming's expansion, and this center honors that legacy. Walk through a meticulously restored steam locomotive and several historic rail cars, gaining a firsthand look at how the "Iron Horse" transformed the American frontier. 
Fort Fetterman State Historic Site Just a short drive north, Fort Fetterman stands as a sentinel over the North Platte River. Once a major military outpost during the Indian Wars, the site now offers an interpretive center and restored buildings that provide a somber and fascinating look into the military history of the region. 

From Red Rocks to River Banks
Wyoming's landscape is its greatest calling card, and Douglas is situated near some of its most unique features. 
Ayres Natural Bridge Perhaps the "hidden gem" of Converse County, Ayres Natural Bridge is one of only three natural bridges in the United States with a stream flowing beneath it. Tucked away in a lush canyon, it offers a cool, shaded retreat for picnicking, light hiking, and photography. It is a geological marvel that has been a favorite stop for travelers since the days of the covered wagon. 
The North Platte River The river is the pulse of our valley. For anglers, the North Platte offers world-class trout fishing. For those who prefer a slower pace, a scenic float down the river provides a unique perspective on the local wildlife, including bald eagles, deer, and antelope. 
Laramie Peak and Medicine Bow National Forest For the more ambitious adventurer, the towering silhouette of Laramie Peak beckons. As the highest point in the northern Laramie Range, it offers challenging hikes and breathtaking panoramic views that stretch for hundreds of miles. The surrounding Medicine Bow National Forest is a playground for mountain bikers, hunters, and hikers alike.
