How about ditching the pavement and getting down and dirty with your feet on the earth and your head in the trees. Sound good? Then Cottonwood Campground is the place for you! This undeveloped spot in the pines has some comforts so you won’t be getting too primitive, but there is still plenty of wilderness to make it feel like a proper camping trip. The Keyhole Reservoir is not easily accessed from here, so keep that in mind if you plan on a lot of lake action. Bring something to roast on the campfire, a lounge chair, and a book, then kick back and enjoy!

Bearlodge Mountain Resort

20mi from Cottonwood Campground · 40 sites · RVs, Lodging · Sundance, WY

The Bearlodge Mountain Resort can be a quiet getaway from a hectic lifestyle, a base camp for hunting, an adventure-packed vacation, or a great spot to stay while you tour area attractions. Where "networking" is two pickups parked in the middle of the road so that their drivers can visit. Where we go grocery shopping in the woods during the fall. Where "neighbors" might live two hours away or just down the road. Where directions are given in "north and south" instead of "right and left". Life's a little slower, people a little more sincere and a handshake still means something! PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TENT CAMPING: I don't have any shower or bathroom facilities. The closest place I know of is the Conoco a mile north of my place on Cleveland St. They have a truck stop and I'm told the shower is nice. There is a chance I won't be on site to greet you, but so far everyone has been incredibly respectful and found some great places to put up a tent. I trust you!

Redwater Revival Campground

36mi from Cottonwood Campground · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · SD

Book a peaceful and beautiful site on a private creek. The Redwater Revival Campground joined Hipcamp and was open during the 2020 summer season. Herb met and accommodated many wonderful guests and had a blast doing it. The red bluff in the background was a very strategic vantage point for early Indigenous Americans for hunting game that roamed the creek bottom. The rest of this exciting story will have to be heard when you get here. The Redwater Creek is full of Brown and Rainbow trout. They are sneaky little buggers that can actually hear your footsteps when you are fishing along the bank. Please make sure that you stay with us for some very restful mesmerizing sleep along our part of the creek at the Redwater Revival Campground.

We even have float tubes for sale and kayaks available for rent. Ask us about our guided kayak tour.

I stayed at Cottonwood Campground (part of Keyhole State Park) in April 2017. My timing was perfect as I literally had the entire campground to myself for several days. A ranger I spoke with told me the campground would start getting busy soon as the spring weather arrived. The spot that I was able to camp overlooked the lake from a rocky outcropping and was surrounded by trees. I had deer wander through the campground each day, while ducks, geese, and even pelicans were visible in the lake surrounding the campsite. This was my second stay at Keyhole State Park, though the first at this particular campsite. My experiences so far have been good here. I paid $10/night as a WY resident, while the non-resident rate is $17/night.
