Casper is incredibly conservative and there is little diversity. In general, the people are kind, but narrow minded, and expect you to just have the same beliefs they do. Many "MAGA" flags and Trump supporters, if that's what you're into. The mountain is definitely the best part of Casper, and has good trails for hiking and biking. There are also good breweries.
I lived in Casper my entire life until I went to the University of Wyoming. The community is great and I love the town.
I moved here from out of state to get away from the drama in the rest of the US and I agree w/ the conservative politics. However, after three months I have come to realize this is not friendly, small town USA. The weather is as cruel as the inhabitants’ personalities. Overall, people have not been friendly, warm, or inviting. They seem hateful. Almost everyone appears scary looking. It’s not that they are blue collar people, it’s that they’re mean and not ashamed to blatantly proclaim so. There’s not a lot of people here in my age range (mid twenties) but the very few ones I have met already seem to embody the judgmental, ostracizing Karen personalities. Older ladies in the stores always bump into me without saying excuse me, then there’s scary looking men who stare and are rude as if they want me to feel uncomfortable. There’s just no point in living in a small town if there’s no sense of small town hospitality or friendliness.
It is a great little community of people. Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful. There are many things to do outdoors in the nature. For example, you are able to go up to Casper Mountain during the summer and go camping or hiking. Also during the summer, you can go fishing on the river. During the winter, you are able to go up the same mountain to do cross country or downhill skiing. Overall, this is a great place to go visit for your next family vacation.
I was born in Casper but lived most of my life in the Denver area, and only for the past couple of years decided to move back to escape the expensive hellhole Calirado has become. In the past two years I have had unimaginably bad luck and misfortune with Casper whether it be sheer lack of convenience or just lousy and dumb ignorant jock hicks. Wyoming natives who like it here call themselves “Cowboys” as if that makes them God or something. In reality, not a whole lot to justify that, especially when so many people live in poverty, nepotism runs rampant, and as other reviews have indicated people are actually quite thin-skinned, rude, and petty. I have seen a fair share of screw ups in this town who can’t get their lives together. The politics is stuck in the 1950’s, especially with marijuana. Now I came out here to save up some money and eventually move to a nicer place, but I never thought the lower price tag would bring this kind of misery. Be careful what you settle for.
Casper is a great town for college students and younger families, activities all year round that are family friendly. Not to many things to do at night that aren’t alcohol related
I have lived here all of my life. I like how it is a small town easy to get places. However, I have just had bad experience with places and people. I am ready to move states. Casper has a beautiful mountain which I like to go hiking and visit the waterfall or snowboarding during the winter. Lots of people from all over the world come to visit out mountain.
I've been living here my whole life and it is an amazing town with kind and accepting people. i love this place with all my heart i will probably move but i still love this place all the way and i will probably come back in the future to see family and friends ten out of ten amazing place beautiful with the North Platte river which you can float on very cool 5 starts on yelp do come here it is amazing
and very very very VERY cool.
and very very very VERY cool.
Casper is a horrible place to live. People are small minded and judgmental. The weather is horrible and there are little opportunities. Sad community if you could even call it that.
Growing up in Wyoming, I was surrounded by people who live within the confines of their perceptions, and rarely appear to seek understanding outside of them. I do not believe that the people in my community are ignorant or hateful, but rather that they struggle to comprehend things with which they have had little to no experience.
Here in Casper, my open-mindedness stands out from a crowd with a singular view of the world. This open-mindedness comes primarily from my relationship with the LGBTQ+ community here in Wyoming. I am very close with many of Casper’s LGBTQ+ youth; through my relationships, I have learned that this group faces intolerable amounts of hatred every day. It is utterly heartbreaking to hear homphobic slurs hurled across classrooms, with those responsible completely unaware of the gravity of their words.

Very great place to raise a family. Mountain and lakes are close to town to enjoy. Many great restaurants and small businesses within the community.
Casper is a really quiet place with lots of natural life I came to Casper Wyoming from vegas so I really wasn't used to this environment it is a pretty peaceful place except for the school lots of people are really horrible here probably because they don't get much to do here at the start I hated here but it started to grow in me now I want to get my degree here.
I have lived here my whole life, and I love it here! While the weather can be drastic, it refines those who reside out on the plains. The community is very tight knit, with some incredible historical sites and landmarks.
Very outdoor friendly which is great. It is still very energy dependent which I would like to see change.
Beautiful environment with the mountain only 10 minutes away from anywhere in town and Alcova Reservoir is a quick 40 minutes away. A great school system that cares about its students. There are many restaurant options and great local and franchise businesses around town. Not too big or too small with about 60,000 people. Slightly close-minded when it comes to the people as they are used to being only about themselves living in a less populated environment.
Casper is a very homey town. Despite its size it has a small-town attitude. Everyone knows everyone and most people are generally friendly. There is always something to do in Casper, whether it is concerts at the college or events in the event center. There are always things to do.
I have lived in Casper my whole life. Granted, I am only 18, but Casper has provided me with everything I need to be successful. The scenery is beautiful, and there is a mountain and a lake both within a 45 minute drive of the town. The education system is great, there are a lot of teachers and administrators throughout the district who really care. The town is very safe, I have never had any worries about going around by myself.
