Stories from the community

3 nights at Hidden Acres

Absolutely beautiful, secluded area. The original spot we booked was going to be a challenge to get to with my camper due to heavy rains the past couple of days, but Karla was super helpful getting us all set up in another. She was an awesome host and the market is an added bonus - lattes and cinnamon rolls were fantastic. I highly recommend this area if you want a nice secluded area away from the crowds.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Lode

One of the most beautiful and relaxing places we have ever stayed! So close to stores etc but yet so remote it was wonderful. Had a turkey friend and chipmunks come visit us too. Highly recommend this location!!

Weekend Trip to Bearlodge Mountain Resort

Adorable accommodations, cute cabin, beautiful stay! Everything we needed to feel spoiled after a week of camping!

1 night at Eagle Lode

Amazing hosts, and the most beautiful site. Choose this place to find your serenity!

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

What a beautiful space! We enjoyed a quick night here after a long day of travel, and I don’t know who enjoyed it most: us or the dogs. Just behind the campground we walked some of the trails of the Black Hills National land, and when we came back to camp, we appreciated the clean campground. The full hookups were appreciated, and the camp spaces large and spacious.

1 night at The Wilderness

I loved this spot, so remote. It is close to a dirt road, but i didnt hear a single car past 9pm. I highly recomend 4 wheel drive or a higher clearance vehicle if you want to go deeper into the sight, a Smart Car can only make it to the first camping spot. Beautiful spot to watch the sunrise over the hills.

1 night at Bearlodge Mountain Resort

We loved our stay at Bearlodge in Sundance! It was super convenient being right off the interstate and easy to find at night after we left Mt. Rushmore! Easty hook up and a beautiful scenery, doesn’t get better than that! Easy walk to the laundromat and pizza place across the street but the pizza place was closed! Will def stay again!

Weekend Trip to Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

One of my favorite spots to camp. It's a great location and the owner runs it well l.

Weekend Trip to Black Elk Resort

The park was well kept, pristine, had beautiful surroundings and close to the attractions I wanted to see.

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

So easy to access and directions were easy to follow as well. We hope to get back when we can spend more time!

2 nights at Horse Creek Resort

The place was beautiful! Garrett’s is an amazing host. Really can’t say enough good things about him. I’m looking forward to coming back next year. Absolutely recommend it!

1 night at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

We were grateful for Garret instruction before we arrived. Found out how peaceful it was with no phone service. There was internet. Our stay was late in the season.. Woke up to see snow on the ground. The place was beautiful. We have already started talking about returning. In warmer weather next time. Thanks for the nice place to stay.

2 nights at Horse Creek Resort RV Sites

Impeccably maintained park, great communication from the host, and a wonderful location right on the river surrounded by hills. Recommended.

Bearlodge Mountain Resort

28 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · 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!
