Experience “Pure Wyoming Energy” in Campbell County, located in the Energy Capital of the U.S. It’s the perfect stopover on I-90 between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park.

Enjoy historic Gillette, the county’s largest city. Shop the town’s unique boutiques, galleries, and fine eateries. Gillette and the town of Wright have many dining options, shopping, energy and industry tours, family-oriented activities, recreation, and wildlife! It’s a great vacation destination. Tour one of the area’s coal mines to see how this “black gold” is obtained or visit Durham Ranch, near Wright, for a tour to see how this working ranch manages more than 3,000 bison.

Campbell County offers many athletic activities, too. Climb Gillette’s own Devils Tower at the impressive new Recreation Center, complete with an indoor field house for tennis and track.

For outdoor recreation in town,  enjoy swimming, archery, shooting, golf on the nine-hole public course, motocross, and more. And of course, Campbell County’s wild country offers abundant activities: Fish Denton Reservoir, hike local trails, ride horseback, hunt, view wildlife, and go boating.
