    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.

    Indian Campground

    Good spot for an overnight

    We spent only one night here while we were on our way home from a two week long camping trip. We were in RV site 6, which was right next to the pool. The site was level, and included water, electric, and sewer hookups. There was a picnic table, but no fires were allowed (I think if you have a portable gas fire pit you can use that) and no fire rings are provided.

    The bathrooms were clean and in working order. We did not use the showers, but they appeared to be clean and in working order as well. We did enjoy a dip in the pool and it was very nice! There is a little general store and you can buy ice and even meat for grilling burgers and whatnot. The playground was also nice for the kids to enjoy. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    I will say that we didn't sleep well due to the noise from the very nearby highway. But we were in a pop-up camper. So if you're in a hard-sided trailer or an actual RV, this may not be as much of an issue to you.

    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.

    Shell Campground

    Simple RV camping on the outside of Shell

    We did a single overnight here with the RV. The campsite is best without kiddos because there is no playground or anything for them to do outside here. A small and simple campsite for an overnight near Bighorn National Forest.

    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.

    Our little oasis

    We loved everything about this campground. My 4 yo son loved the pool and the playground. My 12 daughter loved the WiFi and extra clean showers and bathrooms. The laundry room was immaculate. We also got some fancy rocks for a very low price. After a long drive, this was amazing to arrive at a well organized ground, very level with picnic tables and trees and calming surroundings.
