Wyoming

IS IT WORTH A STOP?

A highlight worth several bases

Why these scores · sources
How we assess these stops

Research-based editorial scores, not visitor review averages or measured popularity. RV appeal considers suitable bases, services, practical access and variety of day trips. Sightseeing considers scenery, distinctive experiences and nearby towns. 5 = a standout chapter, 4 = well worth a stop, 3 = worthwhile for a particular interest, 2 = less practical for that travel style, 1 = a weak fit.

Scores describe the suggested regional trip, not every campsite or attraction. They do not confirm that a particular rig will fit. Researched 23 September 2026; check current access and 2028 booking arrangements before reserving.

Cody & Buffalo Bill

Cody is one of the most authentic Western cities in the United States. Founded in 1896 by William Frederick Cody – better known as Buffalo Bill. To this day, the history of the Wild West continues to live here. Historical buildings, Rodeos, museums and a vibrant cowboy culture make Cody a place that differs significantly from the tourist centers around Yellowstone.

Bighorn Mountains

The Bighorn Mountains are one of Wyoming's greatest surprises. While most travelers focus on Yellowstone and Grand Teton, those who take a detour to this mountain range experience one of the most original regions in the American West.

Devils Tower National Monument

In the middle of the vast prairie in north-east Wyoming, a massive rock monolith rises almost 400 metres above its surroundings. The Devils Tower is one of North America's most distinctive natural monuments and seems almost unreal from a long distance.

Thermopolis

Hidden Gems

Conclusion

Wyoming is the epitome of the American West. Powerful mountain ranges, endless prairies, deep canyons and an exceptionally rich wildlife characterise the state. With Yellowstone and Grand Teton, Wyoming houses two of North America's most spectacular national parks. At the same time, the vast landscapes, historic western cities and low population density ensure that many regions still feel untouched and unspoiled today.

More highlights

In addition to the world-famous sights such as Yellowstone National Park and Devils Tower, Wyoming offers many more places that enrich a journey through Cowboy State. Picturesque mountain passes, historic forts, impressive state parks and exceptional natural wonders invite you to leave the main streets and get to know Wyoming from a new perspective.

Camping, services & boondocking

This proposal combines comfortable supply nights with simple campgrounds and free overnight stays. After two to three self-sufficient nights at the latest, a place with fresh water and disposal is deliberately followed again. Where Boondocking with a large Fifth Wheel does not make sense, the plan remains with an official campground.
