Sweet Little Spot

If you’re just staying for the night, it’s great. It’s FREE! Go down a short gravel road and pass a semi-maintained pit toilet. It looked great when I visited!

Further down the road there are two fire rings on your left. About 100 ft from each other. If you’re using just one tent there is a spot right on the river bank! I wish I had seen it the night before. There’s also some room on the right under the bridge.

The noise from the cars & the boats in the morning is the only bad thing. But it’s not terrible and I slept fine.

Saw a huge eagle looming over everything across the river.

Have fun

Montana FAS campground

This was down a gravel road situated by the I94 bridge over the Bighorn River. We took what looked to be the main site with picnic table and fire ring. There may have been more sites especially under the bridge. There was a small but clean vault toilet but no garbage. Thankfully, the traffic on I-94 is light so the noise was negligible. We had a view of the river nestled against the ubiquitous cottonwoods. The site is free. We were there in late September 2020 in a pop up truck camper.
