  Bighorn National Forest

  Dispersed Free Camping off Route 20

  Driving through Bighorn National Forest we found TONS of free dispersed camping off route 20.

  Sites are primitive… No running water, no electric, no restrooms. Sites consist of previously used dispersed site containing clearing and fire pits. There are camping spots for tents and RVs from large to small. If the first spot doesn’t suit you just keep traveling down route 20 to the next.

  Far apart and lots of privacy.

  We camped along a stream in a 32 foot RV. We were visited by a mother and baby moose.

  If you are seeking privacy, this is your place.

  No facilities, stores or cell service. You must be prepared and self sufficient.

  Island Park Campground

  Stream runs behind it

  Decent, small campground. Few sites are level. Fire pit needed cleaning. Toilets were clean. Camp hosts on site, but never came by. Evidently there was a family reunion of sorts so some noise. They kayaked on the stream behind the camp sites.

  Island Park Campground

  Beautiful setting

  Small but busy park. Best sites for views are along creek where you can watch moose beaver and trout in creek and meadow. Can get noisy before quiet hours. A lot of people drive through looking for campsite and kids were rambunctious when we were there. Great camp host

  Buffalo KOA

  Great bathrooms & showers

  A bit lower key than most KOA’s (that’s a positive for me). Few kids, and VERY clean bathrooms and showers with appropriate hooks, dry shower entries (probably because they had great shower curtains). Sites had reasonable spacing and some shade. Nice pool.

  Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA

  Typical KOA

  Staff here is wonderful...friendly & helpful. Campground is cleaner than most, showers & bathrooms also were clean. Big Goose Creek runs alongside the campground, and downtown Sheridan is just a few miles away. But it's expensive (almost $60 for water/electric only), the campground is between the freeway and train tracks, & RV spaces are stacked together like sardines. But sometimes a night at a KOA is necessary, and the welcoming staff makes it bearable.

  Buffalo KOA

  Great Cabins

  We arrived around 4pm with a reservation for a cabin. The host was great and a nice quiet place. Cabins are clean and the restroom/shower area is very well maintained. Stocked main office with good amenities. Our space heater in the cabin wasn’t working and was replaced quickly. There is a fire ban so no open fires or cooking. I opted to use my gas stove on the porch and there wasn’t a problem. Good location if your headed into Cody or Yellowstone within the next few days. TV also has a Roku adaptor. Laundry room/ shower open 24 hours.

  Island Park Campground

  Small quiet campground with a beautiful view!

  We were referred to this campground by some friends who had stayed here previously. We were on our way to Yellowstone during a 10 day road trip through South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado and they insisted we stop and camp here at least one night and I’m so glad we did! This was my first time ever camping in the mountains and I got spoiled! Island Park is small and quiet with only 10 sites. It is near a river with crystal clear water and the most beautiful backdrop. Our friends had stayed here a year or two before we did (we were here in 2017) and mentioned there were moose in the campground. Sure enough, we had not even got our tent sat up and there they were! The Bighorn National Forest is on my list of places to return and if we do, we’ll camp at Island Park again for sure!! I am not a photographer...these pictures were taken with my iPhone and they still don’t do justice.

  Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA

  Finally, a KOA without all the rock

  This is, finally, a KOA that isn’t covered in gravel and dust! There is real, green grass! The sites are small, and tight, but there is grass. They have mostly RV sites, with some tent sites and small cabins. Electric and water, some with sewer. There is a small store, game room and pool. The shower would be better with a real door, not just curtains. They have a good size dog park, plus an extra area for dogs to run, unfenced.
