In Sundance, WY, at the intersection US RT. 14 (Cleveland St.) and Government Valley Rd. at east end of town, take Government Valley Rd. and go 2 miles north to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
Located only a few miles off the highway but by the time you get to the campgrounds you'll forget you just got off the road.
Stunning campgrounds with plenty of space for animals and weed free hay. Although, be sure to arrive during the day so you don't find out you camped with the animals in the morning!
We don’t have horses but decided to give it a try. Wow…. Beautiful views and just what we wanted. We were the only campers here, probably because it was during the week. No utilities but if you are self contained it’s no problem. So much better than being packed into an over priced RV park with no privacy.
There are two important features which are not obvious in the other reviews. First is the USFS has built a permanent vault toilet with two stalls here within the last year. A great improvement over the former portapottys. Second, this campground is not only for equestrians only. RV's and tent campers are welcome. The views here are stunning especially around dusk and dawn. We visited in middle May 2023 and we were the only ones there. The drinking water was also on which is not a given in the early season. Currently $10 off season and $17 high season. Well defined
camping spaces with fire rings and picnic table. SHHHH do not tell everyone about this nice quiet campground!
Spent 8 nights at Sundance. Great riding and nice clean camp. Three hydrants with city water. You can see the water tank in one photo. Currently 2 ports potties but FS plans to build solar vault toilet. 5 of the ten sites can be reserved. There are ten horse pens plus some tie up spots. Very nice ADA ramp to mount up. One TH out of camp is narrow and rises about 800 feet in elevation in half mile. It is narrow but not strenuous for horses. Once on summit there are over 60 miles of trails. Many trails are well marked and match the FS paper maps. We spoke to local mountain biker who shared with us some “unmarked” trails - well worth your time to seek out the unmarked trails. They allow you well over 80 miles total.
Saw antelope and deer but the area is dry with less than 20 inches of rain a year.
Very nice picnic tables and fire rings. With couple hoses you can easily fill you LQ fresh water tank.
