Gillette is becoming a foodie frontier and one of the premiere destinations for the pickiest palates. Don't believe us?

Our mines power the country but our kitchens fuel the soul. The local food scene reflects the region's ranching heritage while embracing modern culinary creativity — a combination that surprises and delights visitors expecting nothing more than a truck stop burger.

Campbell County sits in the Powder River Basin, a landscape of rolling grasslands, dramatic badlands, and wide-open skies that stretch to the horizon. The region offers:

Fishing: The Powder River and its tributaries hold walleye, bass, and catfish. Local fishing guides know every productive hole and can put you on fish year-round.

Hunting: Campbell County is prime territory for pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and elk. The region's vast public lands offer exceptional hunting opportunities for both residents and non-residents.

Off-Road Adventures: The county's network of dirt roads and two-tracks opens up thousands of acres of public land for ATV and UTV exploration. The terrain ranges from gentle grassland to rugged badlands — something for every skill level.

Disc Golf: Gillette has invested in world-class disc golf courses that draw players from across the region. The courses wind through parks and natural areas, offering a fun way to explore the city.

The Campbell County area has been inhabited for thousands of years, with Native American history deeply woven into the landscape. The Vore Buffalo Jump, just east of Gillette, is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the American West — a natural sinkhole where Plains tribes drove bison herds to their deaths for thousands of years.

The Wyoming Dinosaur Center in nearby Thermopolis offers a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past, with fossils excavated from local dig sites on display.

Gillette is located in northeast Wyoming, about 70 miles west of the South Dakota border. The city is served by the Gillette Campbell County Airport with connections to Denver. Summer and fall are the best times to visit for outdoor recreation, while winter brings opportunities for ice fishing and snowmobiling.
