We are also at the point where these two interstates meet up with the Cloud Peak Scenic Byway (also known as Highway 16). Easy off and easy on -- just 1/2 block west of I-25's exit 299. This is the shortest, safest and most scenic route to Yellowstone Park - with the least grade for those big outfits.

We dispersed camped north of MeadowLark Lake along FS Road 427 I believe! It was beautiful, and so peaceful. We did get stormed on but our tent held out really well! These dispersed sites are developed and first come first serve. We enjoyed our coffee next to the river!
No water or Toilets so plan accordingly, and check out the Bighorns USDA Website for any burn bans or camping information you may need!
There are bears out in this forest, recommend putting all food in your hard sided truck, Car, or camper! A human fed bear is a dead bear!
Traveler
Found this by chance en route to custer state park. Lots of pitches. Quiet and had spot right by lake. Clean toilets. Make sure to take a pen to be able to check in/complete envelope.
Traveler
Totally agree with person who said this is in top 5 sites. Awesome views, level ground, easy access, lots of room for many. However, it's county road 402 not 403!
Ranger
Wonderful staff and friendly. Got my laundry done, showers, and lovely shady spot and they have a pool!
GuideThe breathtaking Bighorn Mountains at 9000 ft elevation, good for rigs of all sizes but be advised you may want to scout the road the further you get into the camping area as it can be a bit rough (with water crossing at one point).

Guide
Our first time staying at a KOA Journey and although right off the main road, the noise was not bad at all, amenities were terrific and although we were not right by the creek, we managed to get some decent fishing in, views were great, even though we caught no fish.
LegendNice little campground for stopover. Staff is super friendly and stayed past closing (7pm) to assist late arrivals. Sites are level and pull thru, although a bit narrow. No dog park but plenty of room to walk them. Cheaper than the KOA down the street
GuideSo amazing. Peaceful and quiet, even with some other campers here. The cell phone service with Verizon is perfect and the view is to die for. You can also hear the cows across the road, which I love. The road in is so easy, no rigs should have any issues.
GuideThis is a great spot. Wide open area for camping so you’re not right on top of anyone. The views were amazing. Pretty windy as others stated, but was nice during the hot days. Nights were a tad chilly. Downside is there’s absolutely no shade and horseflies are in plenty. Thankfully I have a screen tent that provided some shade and relief from the flies. Overall a great spot, not too far from town. Better if you have a camper over a tent.
Guide
Good showers. Helpful and friendly staff. We got last available site because it was Longmire Days in Buffalo. Decent site although hookups needed some attention. Needed about 25’ of hoses to get to water hookup. Quiet at night. Level sites.
Ranger
Stopped here for an overnight on our drive home to Florida. Great owners who were very nice and helpful. Clean and well run park. Great stop.
GuideSites are narrow but doable. Not a place to hang out all day but a nice base close to town at a reasonable price. It is near a hill so trucks engines can get loud if your site is near the road. We were away from the road and it wasn’t an issue. Easy access to I-90 but no noise from the interstate.
RangerBeautiful views. Be prepared for tall grass and horse flies. We parked at the end by the private fence and by morning several hikers with dogs came and parked right next to our site. Good Verizon service.
LegendSpectacular views and wildlife. Easy to find a level spot. Wild horses.
TravelerBy far one of the most beautiful places I’ve camped. The field is in bloom right now (June 15) with purple and yellow flowers. We’re definitely up in elevation and can see lush forests and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Super lush green field to camp in. Super easy to get to from main road. No road traffic sounds. Chilly at night.
Scout
Stayed for just one night. Great sites and a beautiful area with plenty of trails to hike. Had a big bull moose sitting in our site upon arrival and he stayed nearby all day and night so caution with pets is recommended.
Scout
The owner was kind, and willing to accommodate us last minute. The spaces are small and tight. People appear to live here year round.
TravelerPaid $15 to camp. Had a park for playing that was a big hit. A store right near by had some supplies including wood for $7.50
Beautiful sunset. Has picnic tables and firepits but no grate for cooking. A few sites are good for tents and more are good for RVs because they have gravel.
GuideThe gravel drive and lots are compacted and easy to maneuver with an electric wheelchair. I think a manual could do it as well. Shower and toilets are not accessible unless you can stand and walk short distances. Washer and driers are accessible but the main door into the office has a2” lip that can stop you if you’re not at speed. Great feeling to the overall area. Right by freeway so some noise but trees help.
TravelerWe came in and got a last minute tent site on Memorial Day weekend and were treated very well with good recommendations for ice cream and willingness to help us out when we realized we left things at home. Our spot was a beautiful little tent spot right along the creek.
Guide
We arrived without reservations and Peter D was a great and have us a lot of good recommendations around town. Sites are gravel and level.

This campground waited until 2024 to allow reservations for a huge event in Gillette, WY. When I called them last year, they said that they were planning to wait until the new year before opening reservations because they wanted to be fair. So last night I set my alarm for 1am to be able to reserve when the spots opened up. They decided to jack the prices from $58 to $399 for a spot per night. When I questioned their motives that they waited so that people would be desperate and I didn't see why they couldn't make just a reasonable profit, they hung up on me. I tried repeatedly to call back to cancel and they would not pick up the phone. I called 24 times before they were annoyed enough to answer the phone. I barely got out that I wanted to cancel my reservation before I was hung up on again. I obviously have not stayed here but I would guess that from their lack of integrity and human kindness that I would not ever want to stay there. Please beware.
GuideCheck in is via honor system. Most sites have some from between them. Saw lots of pronghorn. Did get a bit windy in the night, especially in a tent. Bathrooms were closed.
Guide
Pulled into spot and two moose were browsing on the stream bank in front of us. Campground was well spaced out and host very friendly. Great views and walking paths along stream with meadow on opposite side and mountains in background. Easy access about 2 miles in on graded dirt road. Only drawback was no cell service (Verizon). Not first come first serve, but in early September mid-week, there were several sites available.
Scout
Thought this was a nice little campground, turned up at 6pm in early September & still had a few spots remaining. We chose the back loop with only 4 spots which felt nicely quiet & secluded. Drinking water provided from a nearby spigot & pit toilets in good condition. Host Peggy was very nice!
