Crippled Spider RV Park & Campground

20 Tent Sites, 1 Wagon

Crippled Spider RV Park & Campground in Thermopolis, WY, offers RV sites with full hookups, 20 tent sites, and 1 wagon. Contact the park for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length — those specifics aren't published here. The grounds are gated, with a dump station on site. What sets the property apart is the stock accommodation: horse paddocks and horse pens, which almost no standard RV park offers. If you're hauling horses, that combination of gated security and paddocks is the reason to book. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Thermopolis is the draw. The town calls itself the hot spring capital of the world, and the claim holds up — the largest mineral hot spring on Earth produces roughly five million gallons of thermal water a day at Hot Springs State Park, where the state-run bathhouse is free to the public. The park sits on US Highway 20 in Hot Springs County, on the Bighorn River in north-central Wyoming, with the Wind River Canyon just south. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Call ahead about paddock availability and your rig's fit before you reserve.

The Nest at Black Hawk

The Nest at Black Hawk in Colorado offers geodesic dome lodging in the mountains above town, with a private hot tub and sauna, panoramic Front Range views, and cabins on a property open all year. A bar, snack bar, general store, and community fire pit round out an experience with very little in common with conventional camping. The seven-meter geodesic dome is the signature accommodation — a full-scale structure positioned to capture the Front Range panorama, furnished and fitted with a private hot tub and sauna. Cabins provide additional lodging. Restrooms and showers serve the property, with a general store and snack bar on site and a bar for evenings. This is glamping that takes the experience seriously rather than pitching a tent with a bed in it, and the inventory is small — book well ahead. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, with birding across the mountain terrain and mountains rising in every direction. The property stays open year-round, which makes winter stays genuinely viable at this elevation. Black Hawk sits below in the historic casino district, which gives the property an unusual dual character: the gaming and dining of the district a short drive down, and high-country wilderness immediately above. Few Colorado lodging options put both within the same short radius. The Nest serves guests year-round. Summer mountain access and fall color drive the heaviest demand, with winter drawing guests specifically for the dome-and-hot-tub experience under snow. Given the single dome and limited cabins, reserve as far ahead as you can for any weekend.
