Lewis Park Campground (Wheatland)
Wheatland is the Platte County seat on I-25 between Cheyenne and Casper, and the town lets you camp overnight at Lewis Park, in the 200 block of 8th Street, with no set fee -- everything, including the dump station, runs on donations. Three nights is the requested maximum and there are no reservations; you just turn up. Be clear on what is NOT here, because the camping apps get this wrong: several of them advertise free electric hookups at Lewis Park, and the Town of Wheatland's own page says plainly that there are no electrical or water hookups at the campground. Come self-contained. There IS a dump station, and like everything else it is donation-based, so put money in the box -- a town that asks for nothing is trusting you to keep it worth doing. This is a genuinely convenient I-25 overnight: you are a couple of blocks off the main drag in a real town with groceries, fuel and food. The deal these towns offer is simple: camp free, and they hope you spend a little locally. Town rules change often and we have not visited -- confirm with Town Hall at (307) 322-2962 before you count on it.
