The Rawlins KOA is your perfect stopover on your travels through Wyoming!

We like to say we are a day's drive from everywhere!  That means we are the perfect stop on your way to or from all there is to see and do in Wyoming!  We are also a day's drive from Mt Rushmore, Denver, Salt Lake City and many other locations! We offer convenient on/off of I-80

Because we are located in a high desert climate, we enjoy great weather - warm,  dry, breezy days and cool evenings.  

There are lots of things to see and do in our area should you choose to stay an extra day or two!  We are  just off the Continental Divide Trail, the Transamerica Trail and if you are interested in world-class fishing, ATV'ing, hiking or other activities, we can help you find what you are looking for in our area. Just ask one of our Guest Services Specialists when you check in.

Visit Carbon County

Carbon County owes much of its early history to the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad gave names to unnamed places as it laid tracks westward over the Rocky Mountains that would eventually become the Trans-Continental Railroad. Well ahead of those tracks were Army surveyors laying out the route and marking the waterholes the great steam-locomotives would need to fill their empty tanks. When General Grenville Dodge's crew discovered a clear alkali-free spring, General John A. Rawlins made the comment, “If anything is ever named after me, I hope it will be a spring of water.” Shortly after that Dodge named this tiny oasis Rawlins Springs. The Rawlins KOA Kampground is a perfect "home base" in which to explore this rich historical region. Take a trip to the old Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow. Travel to the Hobo Hot Springs in Saratoga. Test your Fly Fishing skills at the World Famous Miracle Mile on the Platte River. Take a scenic drive to see "Aspen Alley" - beautiful any time of year!
