RV Dump Stations In Devils Tower, Wyoming

44.5903° N, 104.7153° W

Quick Overview

Devils Tower is one of the most striking stops in the American West, and for RVers the logistics are all about its remoteness. We track three dump stations in the area, all paid, so plan your tank service around the two gateway facilities rather than expecting a free public dump this far out. Inside the monument, the National Park Service runs the Belle Fourche River Campground, which takes rigs up to 35 feet at about $12 a night, first-come and no hookups. At the entrance, Devils Tower KOA Journey offers full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, accommodates large rigs, and is your reliable full-service dump and fresh-water stop.

Size matters here. The WY-110 loop road around the Tower base has a 19-foot length limit, so anything bigger parks at the trailhead and walks in, and the NPS campground caps rigs at 35 feet. If you are running something large, the honest plan is to base at the gateway KOA, handle your dump and fresh water there, and day-trip into the monument with a tow vehicle. The monument is reached on US-14, WY-24, and the WY-110 spur, with I-90 access at Sundance Exit 185 about 28 miles out or Moorcroft Exit 153 about 32 miles out.

Because services right at the Tower are very limited, stock up on fuel, groceries, and propane in Sundance or Moorcroft first. The entrance fee runs about $10 per vehicle, with the America the Beautiful pass accepted, and you can check current conditions on the National Park Service site. Prime seasons are May and June and then September and October, with summer the crowded peak. Note the voluntary indigenous climbing closure each June, arrive before 10 AM or after 3 PM to dodge congestion, and do not miss the stargazing, because the Tower under the Milky Way is unforgettable.

Traveling to Devils Tower by RV

Devils Tower is reached via US-14, WY-24, and the short WY-110 spur to the base, which carries a strict 19-foot length limit, so larger rigs park at the trailhead lot and walk in. From the interstate, use I-90 Exit 185 at Sundance about 28 miles away or Exit 153 at Moorcroft about 32 miles away. Both towns are your resupply hubs for fuel, groceries, and propane, since services at the Tower itself are minimal.

Watch for possible winter road closures on WY-24 during storms, and be ready for afternoon thunderstorms in summer with serious lightning risk near the Tower. Check current road and monument conditions on the National Park Service site before you go. Handle your dump and fresh water at the gateway KOA or the NPS campground, and pay the roughly $10 per-vehicle entrance fee when you drive in.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Devils Tower, Wyoming, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Devils Tower

Devils Tower is a paid-dump area, and all three stations we track charge a fee, which is normal for such a remote monument. The cheapest camping is the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground at about $12 a night, but it has no hookups and is not a drop-and-go dump for non-campers. For a full dump and fresh-water fill, the gateway Devils Tower KOA Journey is your full-service option for a fee, and a full-hookup night there bundles the service into the rate.

Add the roughly $10 per-vehicle monument entrance fee, waived if you carry the America the Beautiful pass, to your budget. To save money, resupply fuel, propane, and groceries in Sundance or Moorcroft where prices beat anything near the Tower, and consolidate your dump-and-fill into your camping stop. There is no free public dump out here, so trying to avoid a fee just leaves you driving the remote highways with full tanks. Plan a modest fee and stage smartly from the gateway.

Best Time to Visit Devils Tower by RV

❄️

Winter

Nov - Feb

12F - 35F

Crowds: Low

Cold and quiet, with possible road closures on WY-24 during storms. The Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument closes for the season, so winter dumping means routing to a year-round facility toward Sundance or Moorcroft along I-90. Stock up before you arrive.

🌸

Spring

Mar - May

32F - 60F

Crowds: Medium

May and June are prime, with green grass and fewer crowds early. The NPS campground reopens for the season, and the KOA at the gateway offers full-hookup dumping. Watch for a voluntary indigenous climbing ban in June out of respect for sacred ceremonies.

☀️

Summer

Jun - Aug

55F - 86F

Crowds: High

Peak season and busiest by far. Arrive before 10 AM or after 3 PM to dodge congestion, and expect afternoon thunderstorms with serious lightning risk near the Tower. Full-hookup dumping at the gateway KOA fills up, so plan ahead.

🍂

Fall

Sep - Oct

33F - 62F

Crowds: Medium

September and October are a quiet, scenic window with settled weather and thinning crowds. The NPS campground and gateway KOA stay open into fall, giving you easy dump and fresh-water access before winter closures hit WY-24.

Explore the Devils Tower Area

What we would tell a friend heading to Devils Tower. First, match your rig to the rules: the WY-110 loop has a 19-foot limit and the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground caps at 35 feet, so anything larger should base at the gateway KOA and day-trip in with a tow vehicle. Handle your dump and fresh water at the KOA before you enter.

Second, stock up in Sundance or Moorcroft, both about 30 miles out on I-90, because services at the Tower are very limited. Fill fuel, propane, and fresh water there. Third, beat the crowds by arriving before 10 AM or after 3 PM in peak summer. Fourth, respect the voluntary indigenous climbing closure in June. Fifth, stay overnight for the stargazing, because the Tower silhouetted under the Milky Way is the signature experience, and afternoon thunderstorms mean lightning risk, so plan hikes for morning. Finally, remember the entrance fee is about $10 per vehicle with the America the Beautiful pass accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Devils Tower

Where can I dump my RV tanks at Devils Tower?

Your two anchor options are inside and at the gateway to the monument. The Belle Fourche River Campground, run by the National Park Service inside Devils Tower, handles rigs up to 35 feet at about $12 a night on a first-come basis, though it has no hookups. Just outside at the entrance, Devils Tower KOA Journey offers full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service and accommodates large rigs, making it the reliable full-service dump and fresh-water stop. We track three stations in the area, all paid, so plan to use one of these gateway facilities rather than expecting a free public dump this remote.

Can large RVs drive the loop road around Devils Tower?

No. The WY-110 loop road around the Tower base has a 19-foot length limit, so anything larger must park at the trailhead lot and walk in. The Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument also caps rigs at 35 feet. If your RV is over 35 feet, the smart play is to book the Devils Tower KOA Journey at the gateway, which handles large rigs with full hookups, then day-trip into the monument with your tow vehicle. Handle your dump and fresh water at the KOA before you head in, since services inside the monument are minimal.

Is there free camping or dumping near Devils Tower?

Not really in the way of a free dump. All three stations we track here are paid, which is expected given how remote the monument is. The cheapest camping is the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground at about $12 a night, but it has no hookups and no dump-and-go service for non-campers. For a proper dump and fresh-water fill, the gateway Devils Tower KOA Journey is your full-service option for a fee. Because free public dumps are essentially nonexistent out here, budget a small fee and handle tanks at one of the gateway facilities rather than hunting for a free spot.

What is the entrance fee at Devils Tower?

Devils Tower National Monument charges about $10 per vehicle for entry, and the America the Beautiful interagency pass is accepted, so if you carry one it covers your admission. This is separate from any camping or dump fees. If you are staging outside the monument at the gateway KOA and day-tripping in with a tow vehicle, you still pay the vehicle entrance fee to enter the monument. Plan your dump and fresh-water stop at the KOA or the NPS campground, then pay the entrance fee when you drive in to see the Tower, hike the base trail, and take in the views.

What highways lead to Devils Tower for an RV?

The monument is reached via US-14, WY-24, and the short WY-110 spur, which has the 19-foot length limit near the Tower base. From the interstate, take I-90 Exit 185 at Sundance, about 28 miles away, or Exit 153 at Moorcroft, about 32 miles away. Both towns are your resupply points for fuel, groceries, and propane, since services right at the Tower are very limited. Watch for possible winter road closures on WY-24 during storms. Plan to fuel and stock up in Sundance or Moorcroft, then handle your dump and fresh water at the gateway KOA on arrival.

When should I arrive to avoid crowds at Devils Tower?

Peak season is summer, and the monument gets genuinely congested. The local advice is to arrive before 10 AM or after 3 PM to dodge the worst of it, especially at the base trail and parking areas. If you are dumping tanks and setting up at the gateway KOA, an early arrival also gives you a better shot at a full-hookup site during the busy months. Spring, particularly May and June, and fall in September and October are quieter windows with settled weather. Timing your visit outside midday peak makes both the sightseeing and the campground logistics far smoother.

Is there a climbing ban at Devils Tower?

There is a voluntary climbing closure each June, observed out of respect for indigenous sacred ceremonies at the Tower. It is voluntary rather than legally mandated, but it is widely honored, so if you are visiting in June expect to see fewer climbers and to be asked to respect the closure. For RVers this mainly affects the atmosphere and any climbing plans, not your dump or camping logistics. You can still visit, hike the base trail, camp at the NPS campground or gateway KOA, and take in the Tower. Handle tanks at the gateway facilities regardless of the season.

Where do I stock up before visiting Devils Tower?

Services right at the Tower are very limited, so stock up in Sundance, about 28 miles via I-90 Exit 185, or Moorcroft, about 32 miles via Exit 153. Both towns have fuel, groceries, and propane, and they are your last real resupply before the monument. Fill your fresh tank and top off propane there, then handle your dump at the gateway KOA or use the NPS campground if you are staying inside. Because the area is remote, do not count on finding fuel or a store near the Tower itself. Plan a single resupply loop through one of the I-90 towns.

Can I get fresh water near Devils Tower?

Yes, at the campgrounds. The Devils Tower KOA Journey at the gateway offers full hookups including fresh water, making it your reliable fill point, and the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument has water for campers though no hookups. Because the area is remote with very limited services, plan to fill your fresh tank at one of these facilities or back in Sundance or Moorcroft before you arrive. In winter, when the NPS campground closes and WY-24 may see storm closures, route to a year-round facility toward the I-90 towns for water and dumping.

Is Devils Tower good for stargazing?

Exceptionally so. The remote, dark skies around Devils Tower make for outstanding stargazing, and the Tower silhouetted under the Milky Way is a signature experience that many RVers rank as the highlight of the stop. Camp at the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument or the gateway KOA to be there after dark, since the drive out on WY-24 is not something you want to do repeatedly at night. Handle your dump and fresh water before sunset so you are set up and can simply step outside once it is dark. Clear nights in late spring and fall are ideal.

How big an RV fits at the Belle Fourche River Campground?

The Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument caps rigs at 35 feet, has no hookups, and runs about $12 a night on a first-come, first-served basis. If your rig is under 35 feet and you are comfortable dry camping, it is a scenic and cheap option right below the Tower. Anything over 35 feet should book the Devils Tower KOA Journey at the gateway, which accommodates large rigs with full hookups. Either way, remember the WY-110 loop road at the base has a 19-foot limit, so plan to park larger vehicles at the trailhead and walk in.

Do dump facilities at Devils Tower close in winter?

Yes. The NPS Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument closes for the season, and winter can bring road closures on WY-24 during storms, so you cannot count on in-monument facilities in the cold months. For winter dumping and water, route to a year-round facility toward Sundance or Moorcroft along I-90, both within about 30 miles. Keep your rig winterized if you are traveling this remote high-plains country December through February. The prime seasons are May and June and then September and October, when the campgrounds are open and the weather is settled for easy dump-and-fill stops.

How many dump stations are near Devils Tower?

We track three stations in the Devils Tower area, and all of them are paid rather than free, which fits how remote the monument is. The practical anchors are the full-hookup Devils Tower KOA Journey at the gateway for a proper dump and fresh-water fill, and the NPS Belle Fourche River Campground inside the monument for cheap no-hookup camping up to 35 feet.
