Guests can indulge in gourmet meals at the life-worn saloon, explore lung-busting trails, and unwind with pampering massages, all while enjoying the soothing hot springs nestled beneath glistening snowbanks. Although the ghost town is free of cell phone service, high-speed wireless internet is available in every cabin, ensuring connectivity when needed.
An exceptional addition to the Dunton experience is the Dunton River Camp, which offers eight luxurious prospector-style tents, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Located at Cresto Ranch, a historic cattle ranch from the late 1800s, the camp is surrounded by approximately 500 acres of picturesque fields, meadows, and forests.

Weekend Trip to Bright Star Campground
An absolutely beautiful place to stop and rest! I roadtrip for running races and have always made it a point to stop here dating back to 2020. A unique and comfortable experience; this camp offer scenic sunsets, stargazing, a community kitchen, showers, games, a charging station, hammock to read in, rocks to paint, and the most kind camp hosts. I will always stay here and I highly recommend it.
