Bearlodge Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Bearlodge Campground sits in the forested terrain of Black Hills National Forest near Aladdin, Wyoming, with Devils Tower roughly 25 to 30 miles away and the town of Hulett about 10 minutes out for gas and food. The campground runs a single loop with 8 or 9 sites. Sites are generally large and well-spaced, though a few in the middle run closer together. Water availability has been inconsistent across visits, so arriving with a full supply is a practical precaution. No cell service should be expected here. Bugs, including flies, mosquitoes, and wasps, have been a consistent issue for multiple campers. First-come, first-served at $16 per night, with a vault toilet on-site. Campers wanting dispersed options nearby can look at Bear Lodge Trail Dispersed — Black Hills NF, a few miles to the northwest, or browse campgrounds around Black Hills National Forest for a broader set of choices.

Cheap find

This cg has a nice location not in the town area but close enough. We stayed here two nights but maybe wasn’t worth it. As there is no water and no showers. Bathroom is what you would expect from a pit toilet.

Major con would be ALL the bugs! Flies, mosquitoes and wasps 24/7 here. They were dead set on entering any tent we set up/entering our camper, grille of the car etc. It was kind of outrageous.

On the other hand the cg. is surrounded by cow pasture and the cows can come up really close to the campground. There are also coyotes and what sounds like bears at the fence line in the evening. At least during our stay we heard all three only seeing the cows close by. And there is little to no connection here incase you have to call for help for some reason.

Besides these things it is a very quiet place (maybe a little too quiet). It is first come, first serve. $16/night. We only encountered two other campers during our stay here. And had one night where the grounds were all ours. Probably a perfect place to crash for a night if you need a cheap place to be.

Most of the sites look level and are packed gravel but there are also more grassy areas for tent goers.

Great campground

Great little spot with 8 or nine spaces. I believe they have water but was non operational during our stay. The cost is $10 per night. It's about 25-30 minutes to Devil's Tower and about 10 minutes to the town of Hulett WY which has gas and plenty of food options. It was very quiet while we were there, only 1 other camper and we could not hear them.

The sites are well groomed, but some sites are close to the highway so traffic may be a concern if you are close.

There are restrooms and trash cans available

Off the beaten path campground

Quiet and peaceful in the rural setting, the Black Hills are just across the road. One loop of just a few campsites, we were the third to take a site. After we returned from exploring the Black Hills there were a few more campers. There are still a bunch available for the taking but by the time night was arriving there was only one left open. 

Sites are large and well spaced out. We could sort of see our neighbors and hear them a bit but otherwise we felt alone. A few in the middle are a bit cramped but it’s your choice. The central vault toilet is well maintained. Note: no water is available here but the visitor center on the expressway is only a half hour away and you can fill up there if you need to. Bonus: they have free WiFi at the center too. 

Devils Tower is less than 30 miles away. Roads go up into the Black Hills and we enjoyed walking them. This was a perfect spot for a quiet night.(we’re glad we had the screen room tent to keep the flies and bees away. There were just enough to be an annoyance.)
