About Guernsey

Guernsey is a quiet community of around 1,100 people set along the North Platte River in eastern Wyoming. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, with friendly neighbors and wide-open prairie skies. It has a practical, working-town foundation, supported by local ranching, railroad jobs, and Camp Guernsey, a military training center that provides a steady economic anchor for the area.

Living in Guernsey means outdoor recreation is always close by. Guernsey State Park sits just north of town, offering a great reservoir for weekend boating, fishing, camping, and hiking among stone cliffs and pine-covered hills. You will also find preserved Oregon Trail wagon ruts right outside town, giving the landscape a distinct historical character. For people looking to trade crowded suburbs for a grounded, small-town Wyoming lifestyle, Guernsey has plenty to offer.
