Dalton Lake Campground is a small campground just steps from tiny Dalton Lake.

The campground is mostly open, with some shade from the towering trees. Whether your get around by foot, bike, horse, or off-road vehicle, there’s a trail around here to suit you! A motorized trailhead is just steps from the campground, so bring your four-wheeler. A trailhead for the 111-mile Centennial Trail is nearby. Open to hikers, bikers, and equestrians, the trail crosses prairies, mountain terrain, springs, and caves. Check it out on a day hike, or plan a longer backpacking trip!

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!
