We stayed at spot 200 in fish canyon (Not be confused with fish canyon cove). Although there was no water near us (little bit of a walk away) it had gorgeous views 360 and the spot 200 is a group site where it’s 200A and 200B! Which works great for a large group. Plenty of area to have kids play and plenty of space... read full comment

We went to the parking lot where the dam house is. Wonderful! We were on a birding event with some members of the Cheyenne Audubon Society. It is such a beautiful area.
