Reservations: Joe responded promptly to our call to make reservations. He was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and professional. Access from major highway: Campground is located just off US 287 about 8 miles off Interstate 26. All roads are good. No clearance issues. Site condition: The site was level. It needs a fresh coat of gravel, but unless there has been recent rain then the earth is quite stable. Utilities: Electric, water, and sewer were all good. If you have a big rig then you'll want 50 amp service in the summer as there are no trees for most transient sites. I was lucky enough to be writing this review from a site with trees on both sides. Local attractions: The campground, as it name implies, affords great views of the continental divide to the west. The campground sits on a hill and thus provides distant views of the ranches that surround this campground/ranch. It is walking distance from Ray Lake where the locals go to swim and ski on hot summer afternoons. If you grew up in Daytona Beach then you will not be favorably impressed. The closest town is Lander, about 9.4 miles south on US 287. There is a casino about 4 miles down US 287 that I'm told has good food. The locals: The campground residents were very friendly as you expect from folks from Wyoming. Amenities: No bathrooms or showers. You must be self reliant. This is not a resort. You are here for the scenery and the astonishingly low prices. Internet access: No wifi. There is excellent AT&T signal and quite usable Verizon signal. Throughput on Verizon has been great. Both carriers have provided rock solid reliability at this remote location. The owners are two of the finest human beings that I've ever had the pleasure to know. If you spend a while on the porch with them you will come away a better person.
Joe and Louanne are the kindest souls on the planet. We stopped in without a reservation and they went out of their way to make sure we got settled in. These two are the only amenities you'll need here. Of course the water, electric and sewer are here along with a beautiful view.
I called ahead the morning of and was told I could have a site if I made it before dark. The owner is a sweet older woman who gave me detailed directions and was outside waving me down when I arrived! The GPS brought me right where I needed to be, and I could see the other campers from the main road, but the hospitality really made my stay! If I am ever back in the area I will make it a point to stop back in, and you should as well!
No WiFi , not a lot here. But the utilities worked great , a very sweet and friendly elderly couple own and run it , it's very quiet. And we only paid $12.50 a night to stay here with our Passport America Discount. If you looking for a place just to spend a night or two while traveling through , I would certainly recommend the Mountain View Campground. I gave this place 5 stars not for what it has to offer, but for the kindness and friendliness the owners treated us with. JT Scenic Driveways on YouTube & Facebook
I have arrived in lander around 7 that night after a snow storm driving a 37' RV call to see if they had an opening she told me all the spots where snowed in but to give her an Hr or two and she would clear a spot for us. Very friendly and easy to work with. Thank you for you hard work for getting us a place to stay for the night.Best wishes to you all.
Chill place to rest your weary traveling bones. Sweet family that runs the land.
A bit run down but a great price for fhu and it's quiet.
Great view of the continental divide. Joe and his wife are the nicest people. We got lost due to road and construction and Joe came and showed us how to get around construction.
Not an especially pretty place. But I must say that it has great views, great location and a sweet little lady running it along with her son and other family. This is our second time here and we hope to be back.
Even though our reservations didnt work out - great people and helped us find an excellent back up plan!
