Mountain View RV Park & Campground

The Great Outdoors

Looming over the campsites at Mountain View RV Park and Campground is the massive Devil’s Tower National Monument, a testament to the splendor of nature. The Native Americans of the area called it “Bears Lodge” and revere it as a sacred, holy mountain thanks to its intriguing characteristics. You can climb to the top of this monolith and take in some panoramic views of the area.Devils Tower is just the tip of the iceberg, with countless other parks and campgrounds scattered throughout Wyoming that you can easily find. Keyhole State Park encircles the Keyhole Reservoir to the west, just a half hour's drive from Sundance. This lush recreation area features lofty cliffs overlooking the vast lake, along with dozens of campgrounds, some secluded fishing areas, and marinas where people can store their boats. Swim in the lake, go water skiing, or hike around the water’s edge at this breathtaking nature park.Over on the other side of the nearby South Dakota-Wyoming state line, the mesmerizing Black Hills National Forest continues to impress. A small part of the forest dips over into Wyoming, but most of its one and a quarter million acres covers the Black Hills in South Dakota, with unimaginably spellbinding views, campgrounds, reservoirs, and 450 miles of nature trails you can hike or bike on.Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park are other possible places to visit with your RV rental if you don’t mind heading to the northwestern corner of the state. Grand Teton National Park has legendary skiing, snowboarding, and rock climbing, while Yellowstone National Park is thought to be the first national park in the world. Camp out, trek around the backcountry, and see incredible geysers like Old Faithful when you head to these legendary parks over by Jackson, Wyoming.

City Sightseeing

Aside from the Devil’s Tower National Monument and its adjoining visitor center that offers up valuable information for first-time visitors to the region, Sundance and its surrounding area are not known for sightseeing. The Crook County Museum is one exception that you can visit to learn about the wide range of conflicts and the complicated history of the county and region. Learn about the days of the Old West, from the trial of the infamous Sundance Kid to the fierce military campaign Custer waged against the Native Americans in what is now South Dakota. Seven thousand artifacts can be found in this amazing historical resource, along with an assortment of paintings.When you book an RV in Crook County, you can also head down the road to Gillette, a lovely small town with restaurants, diners, breweries, and shopping plazas. The Frontier Auto Museum professes a love for the open roads of the west, highlighting different aspects of America and its famous highways like Route 66. A fabulous collection of old roadsters, antique vehicles, and other classic muscle cars is a must-see for any motor enthusiasts out there.The Campbell County Rockpile Museum is similar to the Crook County Museum, although it tells a slightly different story about another part of Wyoming. The Old West is alive at this charming space, with old tools, rifles, pistols, cowboy hats, boots, covered wagons, and other period items displaying the realities of living in the days of outlaws and lawmen.
