Bearlodge Campground

About 7 miles west of Aladdin, WY, by Wyoming State Highway 24, you’ll find, tucked away, the Bearlodge Campground. This small 8 site campground remains open year-round, however, keep in mind, the road into/out of and parking areas are not plowed during the winter and conditions could prevent access. This campground has a reduced rate of $10/night in the off-season, sites are first come, first served, 10-day stay limit, and it is a convenient distance from Devils Tower. Please leave no trace by disposing of waste properly, leaving what you find, minimizing campfire impacts, respecting wildlife, and being considerate to others.
