Sitting just off the highway at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains, Lazy R Campground in Ranchester, Wyoming draws road-trippers and regional explorers who need a functional base camp rather than a backcountry experience. The campground is small, with a limited number of sites, and full-time residents occupy some of them year-round. That mix means the grounds see regular use, but multiple reviewers note the campground stays consistently clean and well-maintained.
Sites include full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, a dump station, and WiFi. Pull-through sites can accommodate smaller rigs, but drivers with larger setups may need to disconnect and park the tow vehicle alongside. Back-in sites like number 14 have enough room for a truck and trailer together. Tent campers have also found grassy sites that work well. The shower and toilet facilities are individual combo rooms, older but clean, with enough space to be comfortable.
One of the more practical draws is the on-site bakery, which Mitchell M. sums up simply: "Hard to beat rolling out of your tent, walking 100 feet and getting reasonably priced gourmet coffee and fresh baked pastries." Nearby in Ranchester, options are limited mid-week, so coming stocked or planning a run to Sheridan makes sense for longer stays. The campground sits close to Connor Battlefield State Historic Site, and the Big Horn Mountains are within easy driving distance. Reservations are available online and recommended, given the small site count.
