Search rv storage units near me from Cheyenne, WY and the listings will tell you prices, but they won’t tell you what matters: this is high-plains storage country. Wind averages around 13 mph year-round and spring gusts top 50, summer can bring hail off the Front Range, and the sun at 6,062 feet chews through roof sealant and decals faster than it does at lower elevations. The right storage choice here is mostly a weather decision.
This guide walks through how indoor, covered, and open-lot storage stack up against Cheyenne’s climate, how to prep a rig before it sits, and a question worth pricing before you sign a storage contract: whether a monthly full hookup site makes more sense. Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney rents monthly sites at $550 with water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric, which keeps the rig plugged in, usable, and 5 minutes from I-80 instead of winterized behind a gate.
What Cheyenne Weather Does to a Stored RV
Open-lot storage is the cheapest option everywhere, and Cheyenne’s climate is exactly why it can cost you more over time. Spring gusts past 50 mph drive grit against gelcoat and find every loose seam. Summer hail can roll off the Front Range with little warning. And the sun is the quiet one: at 6,062 feet, UV exposure runs well above sea level, fading decals and breaking down roof sealant a season or 2 faster than owners expect.
Covered storage blocks the hail and most of the sun, and is usually the sweet spot on price. Indoor storage handles all of it, plus winter, but pencils out mainly for high-value rigs. Whichever you choose, prep matters more than the roof over the rig: winterize the plumbing before the first hard freeze, pull the batteries or maintain a charge, inflate tires to spec and cover them, and crack roof vents per your manufacturer’s guidance so the interior can breathe.
The Monthly Site Alternative to RV Storage
Before signing a storage contract, price the option where the rig never stops being an RV. Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney rents monthly full hookup sites at $550, with water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric at every site and the park open year-round. The rig stays plugged in and ready to roll for a weekend at Curt Gowdy without a de-winterizing ritual.
It’s a different product than storage: you’re paying for a usable campsite, with a pool, a dog park, and Camping World next door for service. For anyone between trips, or splitting time between Cheyenne and somewhere warmer, that math sometimes wins, and traveling workers already use these sites as year-round bases. Storage rates around Cheyenne vary by facility and rig size, so get quotes for both and compare honestly. If your situation is short-term or unusual, call the office at (303) 228-6894 and ask what’s possible for your dates.

Cheyenne RV Resort by RJourney
Cheyenne RV Resort sits just off I-80 at Exit 367 on the east side of Cheyenne, Wyoming’s capital and the largest city between Denver and the Rockies. You are 5 minutes from the highway and 10 minutes from downtown. Camping World is next door, Maverik is within walking distance, and Holliday Park is a short drive away. The park operates year-round and serves a steady mix of workforce travelers, families, and road-trippers breaking up the I-80 corridor. July brings Cheyenne Frontier Days and the park fills months ahead. Outside that surge, availability is reasonable with a few days’ notice, and monthly rates make the park practical for extended stays.
Sites & Hookups
Every RV site comes with full hookups: water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric. Pull-through sites handle big rigs without the headache of backing in, and back-in sites are in the mix. Tent sites are available (sites T01 through T11, with water and electric hookups, so tent sites here are not dry-camping-only). Cabins work for visitors who want a bed, walls, and a roof without bringing their own. A dump station and propane fill station are on-site, and every site has a picnic table. Triple-towing is not allowed; towed vehicles must be unhooked and parked in overflow ($10 fee per additional vehicle).
What's On-Site
Cheyenne RV Resort packs more on-site amenities than most campgrounds in the area. A swimming pool, mini golf course, basketball court, playground, dog park, and pavilion live on the property. Banana bikes are available to rent. Firewood sales and propane fills are handled at the office and store, WiFi covers the park, and ADA-accessible facilities are on-site. The dog park is one of the most popular amenities per staff, and guests regularly mention it alongside the pool as the reason they chose to stay. After a day hiking at Vedauwoo or exploring downtown Cheyenne, the pool and a lounge chair reliably earn their keep in summer. T-Joe’s Steakhouse, local to Cheyenne, offers resort guests a 10% discount on meals.
What Guests Say
4.2 stars across 757 Google reviews. The themes that come up most often: cleanliness, staff, and the bathhouse. The ones guests flag when something is off (pet policy questions, the occasional check-in snag) run to roughly a dozen mentions each out of 757. That ratio is the story. Repeat guests come back for the consistency: same well-kept sites, same team at the office, same pool routine summer after summer. A good share of the park fills with workforce travelers, traveling nurses and contractors on long assignments, and what they bring up is staff who remember their names by the second stay.

Terry Bison Ranch RV Park
Full hookup RV sites alongside a working bison ranch. Take a train ride through the pastures to see the herd, and grab a bison burger at the on-site restaurant. Sites are more basic than a dedicated resort and you are farther from town services, but the bison make it memorable. Visit website.

Things to Do from Your RV Park Base in Cheyenne
Curt Gowdy State Park, 25 miles west, anchors the area’s water recreation with three reservoirs (Granite Springs, Crystal, and North Crow) stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon. Archery ranges are open to the public and over 35 miles of mountain biking trails tie the park together. It makes a solid day trip from any RV park in Cheyenne.
Vedauwoo Recreation Area is 25 minutes west via I-80 Exit 329, where giant Sherman granite formations rise out of the forest. It is known worldwide for crack climbing and bouldering; non-climbers can hike the family-friendly Turtle Rock Trail (1.5 miles) or Box Canyon Trail for longer views. The eastern edge of Medicine Bow National Forest starts about 30 miles west, where the Snowy Range Scenic Byway crosses the mountains at over 10,800 feet (open roughly late May through mid-October).
Downtown Cheyenne is 10 minutes from the resort: the historic depot district has restaurants, craft breweries like Freedom’s Edge and Accomplice, shops, and the Wyoming State Capitol with free tours. The Old West Museum on the Frontier Park grounds is open year-round and houses one of the best collections of horse-drawn carriages in the country. The Cheyenne Depot Museum covers the city’s railroad history inside the restored Union Pacific depot.
Seasonal Guide for RV Travelers in Cheyenne
Summer (June through August)
Peak season. The pool opens, days warm into the 80s, and Frontier Days dominates late July. Temperature swings are real here: a morning can start at 45 degrees and hit 85 by afternoon, then drop back to 50 after sunset. Book well ahead for any stay overlapping CFD week.
Fall (September through October)
Crowds thin after Labor Day and the rodeo crush clears out. Cooler days and crisp nights make for comfortable travel, and the drive up the Snowy Range stays open into mid-October. A good window for a quieter stay with easier availability.
Winter (November through March)
Cold and windy, but the park operates year-round and workforce travelers keep it steady. Wind is the main challenge in any season here, and winter brings cold snaps. Skirting and heat management matter for longer stays at 6,062 feet.
Spring (April through May)
Shoulder season with the strongest winds of the year: gusts regularly top 50 mph, so secure your awning before bed, always. Weather is variable, warming through May. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway typically reopens late May.
Practical Tips for RV Travelers in Cheyenne
Wind is the main challenge. Cheyenne averages around 13 mph and spring gusts regularly top 50 mph. If you leave your awning out overnight, Wyoming will take it.
Cheyenne sits at 6,062 feet, Vedauwoo at 8,400, and the Snowy Range tops 10,800. If you are coming from sea level, drink extra water and take it easy on day one. Your engine will feel the altitude on mountain grades too.
Services disappear fast once you leave Cheyenne heading west toward the national forest. Maverik is walking distance from the resort. Fill your tank and your propane before heading into the backcountry.
Every RV park, campground, and hotel within 50 miles fills during CFD (July 17-26, 2026). For a full hookup site in late July, reserve months in advance.
A 40-degree swing in a single day is normal. Layers matter, and your RV's climate control will work harder than you expect.
Wyoming sun at 6,000+ feet is hard on roof sealant. Inspect seams and reseal before a long storage stretch, then check again in spring before your first trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cheyenne RV Resort offer RV storage?
The resort’s core product is full hookup RV sites, including monthly sites at $550 that many owners use instead of storage, since the rig stays plugged in and usable. For short-term parking between trips or anything outside a standard stay, call the office at (303) 228-6894, Tuesday through Saturday, and ask what’s possible for your dates and rig size.
Should I choose indoor or outdoor RV storage in Cheyenne?
Match the storage to the weather. Cheyenne’s spring gusts top 50 mph, summer can bring hail, and high-altitude sun degrades roofs and decals fast. Open lots cost least and expose the rig to all 3. Covered storage blocks hail and most sun at a middle price. Indoor wins outright but usually only makes financial sense for high-value rigs.
How do I prepare an RV for storage in Wyoming?
Winterize the plumbing before the first hard freeze, pull the batteries or keep them on a maintainer, inflate tires to spec and cover them, and inspect roof seams since sealant ages quickly at this elevation. Crack vents per your manufacturer’s guidance so the interior breathes. In open-lot storage, retract and secure everything the wind could grab.
Is a monthly RV site cheaper than RV storage near Cheyenne?
Sometimes, and it buys a different thing. A monthly site at Cheyenne RV Resort runs $550 and includes water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric, so the RV stays livable and trip-ready year-round. Storage rates in the area vary by facility, security level, and rig length, so quote both options against how often you actually plan to use the rig.
Can I store an RV at a Wyoming state park?
No. State park campsites, including Curt Gowdy’s, are for active camping stays, not vehicle storage. If you want the RV kept somewhere it can also be used, a monthly site at a year-round park in town is the closest equivalent; otherwise you’re looking at commercial storage facilities around Cheyenne.
What size storage space does a travel trailer need?
Measure total length from hitch to bumper, then add a few feet of working clearance; owners regularly underestimate by the hitch. Height matters too for indoor or covered spaces, especially with roof ACs and antennas. Big rigs and 5th wheels often run 40-plus feet combined, which puts them in oversized spaces at most facilities.
