Flintstones Bedrock City was a theme park with a campground in Custer, WY. It was open from 1966-2015.
From Wikipedia:
“The park's entrance included a large gift shop, a drive-in restaurant which featured "Brontoburgers", and a 20-foot tall statue of Dino overlooking the entrance. After entering the park, visitors could ride an 1880s miniature train that took guests to a western façade, through Dinosaur Canyon, around the park and returned to the depot after passing through a volcano called Mt. St. Wilma. Bedrock's City Hall welcomed visitors to the prehistoric town which included the homes of the Flintstones, the Rubbles, Mr. Slate, and Mr. Granitebilt. Other features included a working movie cinema, playhouse theatre (featuring a show by the Flintstone Trio: Fred, Wilma, and Dino), radio station, telephone company, grocery store, police department, dentist's office, beauty parlor, stone scraper, fire department, Water Buffalo lodge, auto garage, and bank buildings. Interiors were decorated in the style of the show and featured sculpted and animated characters going about their daily lives in Bedrock. A feature at one end of Main Street was Mount Rockmore, a replica of nearby Mount Rushmore with the heads of Fred, Barney, Dino, and Mr. Granitebilt carved into a hill.”

The property was purchased in 2019 by Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort and almost all remnants of the park are gone. Dino the Dinosaur is perched on a rock overlooking the road but he is in great disrepair. The train tracks and miniature train are still there, as well as at least one trackside blue dinosaur.
