Red Desert Rose Campground

   Part of our trip included taking my sister Sandy and her Husband Charles from their daughter Anna’s home in Boise, to one of their other daughter’s (Carrie) graduation from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.  As they were in a hurry to get from one place to the other, this only gave me a single night stop over somewhere in Wyoming.  I chose Rawlins because it was about two-thirds of the way and I chose the Red Desert Rose because of its 1960’s quirky sign.

     As it turned out, the Campground was great. Not much to look at, but the most friend staff ever. We were escorted to our site and then offered a courtesy car. This was a first. They said that there was no need to disconnect our dinghy, we should use their SUV. I disconnected the car anyway because my sister and her husband took off early the next morning to get to an award ceremony for their daughter. Later we walked into Rawlins and had some really good Tai food.

   If you reserve a site with a full hookup, you are pretty much set to be in one particular row.  The campground was far from full, but that row was.  So, I opted for a site without a septic connection in a better location for me.  The next morning, for a couple of bucks, I was able to slide into one of the empty sites and dump my tanks.  I will return to the campground again and will recommend it based on how friendly the staff was.  Plus, I liked the quirkiness of the place.
