This park had everything we needed to refuel and relax on our road trip across America. The peaceful riverbank vibes and quiet, laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect pit stop.

Our Personal Experience at Riverside City Park
Location: Riverside City Park in Douglas, Wyoming

Amenities: This City Park offers potable water, a dump station, trash receptacles, and, best of all, FREE HOT SHOWERS! The town of Douglas has a recycling station and laundromat.

Wifi / Cell: One of the highlights of this site is its connectivity. We received a strong signal with our AT&T hotspot & phones. According to Campendium reviews, Verizon also receives excellent signal at the site.
Noise: This site not very quiet. Its located next to the city maintenance complex which stays busy during the days. And, its also near the I-25 Business Loop – keeping traffic noise constant all hours.
Grocery / Errands: Downtown Douglas is less than a mile away, it offers standard grocery shopping, bars and restaurants. The park is located centrally to all businesses and city services.
