Colorado and Wyoming need rec places to stay

We will be traveling to and staying in or near the following cities during the Month of July

Pueblo, CO
Cheyenne, WY
Caspar, WY
Sheridan, WY
Denver, CO

We are looking for places to stay in our 5th Wheel-2 seniors
Could be state parks, campgrounds, Corp of Engineer parks etc
Any suggestions of places you've stayed that you really liked? We prefer shade this time of year.
Thank you in advance!

    Judging by the list of cities, all along I25, I doubt there is much public land available. Maybe a city or county park besides what has been suggested.


    All of these towns are pretty small. Sometimes there are city and county parks. There is also public land right outside of town. RV parks can be convenient for visiting cities, but I avoid them when ever possible.

    Colorado State Parks are reservation only, there no longer is any first come/first served. You might be able to find an opening at Cherry Creek State Park on the SE side of the Denver Metro area.

    Otherwise, in July, most everything is likely to be booked up, even for during the week. Possibly some openings at commercial RV parks, but they will likely also be hard to find for the Denver area.

    In Cheyenne, shade will be at a premium. The good news is there's probably been lots of reservation cancellations since Cheyenne Frontier Days has been cancelled this year due to the coronavirus. Two of the better places in Cheyenne is the KOA on the east side of the city off I-80, or the Terry Bison Ranch RV Park just inside Wyoming on I-25 at the first exit.
