Sundance Horse Camp
WY · Sundance / Bearlodge Mountains
County Road 249 (Government Valley Rd), Sundance, WY 82729
Sundance Horse Camp is wonderfully straightforward in all the right ways. It is made for riders, it places you close to a scenic trail system, and it has the kind of orderly campground feel that can make a multiday horse trip feel more relaxing and more polished. Set in the Bearlodge Mountains on the Wyoming side of the Black Hills, it is a lovely choice for riders who enjoy pines, rolling terrain, and a dependable camp rhythm.
Riding guide
Highlights
A purpose-built Black Hills horse camp with a polished, easygoing base-camp feel.
Riding
The nearby trail network gives the riding a friendly, scenic character—less alpine drama, more forested Black Hills rhythm with open views tucked into the route. It is especially appealing for riders who enjoy steady, rideable terrain and a base camp that lets you return to the same well-organized site at day’s end.
Trailer parking
This is one of the cleaner horse-camp setups in northeastern Wyoming: designed for stock users, with trailer-friendly access, water in season, and reservable campsites in peak months.
Horse regulations
Follow campground reservation rules, seasonal operating dates, and all Black Hills National Forest stock and weed-free forage requirements. Shoulder-season use shifts to first come, first served, and water service can be unavailable outside the main season.
Getting here
Arrival is unusually smooth for a public horse camp. Access from Sundance is simple, campsites can be reserved in the main season, and the site is clearly structured around stock use rather than forcing riders to adapt a general campground to horse travel. That means less improvising and more time settling in and enjoying the trip.
Planning your visit
Reserve early for peak summer dates, confirm shoulder-season conditions if traveling outside that window, and bring certified weed-free forage information with you. This is an easy place to enjoy, but it becomes truly effortless when you handle the seasonal details before the trailer leaves home.
Where to stay
Horse camping is the entire point here, and the site does it well. Water is available in season, campsites are designed for horse travelers, and the overall atmosphere leans practical and comfortable rather than rugged for the sake of being rugged. For many riders, that is exactly the luxury they want.
