Reuter Campground

About

Reuter Campground is nestled on a hillside of Ponderosa pine and grassy understory in the Bearlodge Mountains of northeastern Wyoming's Black Hills National Forest. The campground is named after Emil Reuter, a German immigrant who arrived in the canyon in 1893 and spent the rest of his life prospecting in the area. The campground features 12 standard nonelectric sites suitable for tents, trailers, and RVs. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring, with two vault restrooms serving the campground. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov, though some sites may be available first-come, first-served. From the campground, visitors can access the Sundance Trail System via the Reuter Trailhead. The secluded trails weave through densely forested canyons and open ridges, with some ridge tops offering views of the Custer Expedition Route, Devils Tower, and the Twin Missouri Buttes. Warren Peak Lookout Tower, approximately 4 miles north on FSR 838, provides panoramic views extending into South Dakota and Wyoming.
