"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."
"It was so so beautiful and secluded. There were other camp sights around but still very private and clean."
$17 - $28 / night
"Beautiful campsites, brook trout fishing in the lake and the creek below, as well as a 4x4 trail that makes a large loop between shell reservoir and lake Adelaide. We’ll definitely be back!"
"Stayed at a site right across from the lake on a hill in the pines."
$19 / night
"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!"
"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."
$44 - $110 / night
"We just arrived here and have fallen in love with this place. Cozy, super clean, especially the bathrooms! And it’s not just for RVs. There are cabins and yurts. Host is very friendly and helpful."
"The concrete sites are level and spacious with tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. The grounds are well cared with a small playground and dog run. Staff are friendly and helpful."
"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."
"Very helpful staff. Good location. Wonderful town to walk through. Biking and walking trails. Pet friendly. Nice pool. Recommend"
"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."
$50 - $80 / night
"A bit lower key than most KOA’s (that’s a positive for me)."
"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."
"However, we were pleasantly surprised we arrived to find a nice grassy campsite for a our tent and clean restrooms and showers. "
"Quiet, pet and kid friendly, and the staff was great! Clean grounds that they are constantly working on- and the bakery was delicious for breakfast."
"The creek was rushing right below the site. 2 bathrooms and trash cans. Only $7/night."
"All sites are next to a small beautiful stream. All sites have picnic tables, fire rings and small trails between sites along the stream. The falls is maybe less than a mile up the trail."
GuideDriving 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.
GuideWe 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.
RangerDecent, 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.
ScoutWe picked the Lazy R for a quick overnight stay on trip to Missoula, MT. We weren't expecting much, given that we were tent campers staying in an RV park. However, we were pleasantly surprised we arrived to find a nice grassy campsite for a our tent and clean restrooms and showers. The following morning, we opted to skip making coffee and oatmeal for breakfast and instead visited the onsite bakery. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Hard to beat rolling out of your tent, walking 100 feet and getting reasonably priced gourmet coffee and fresh baked pastries for breakfast. I will definitely stay here again.
GuideI can’t think of one negative comment, even the towns 9 o’clock curfew alarm was charming. The concrete sites are level and spacious with tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. The grounds are well cared with a small playground and dog run. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a paved walk just steps out of the campground where we took a walk and watched deer. We only stayed one night but wish that all our campgrounds could be like this one.
LegendSmall 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
ScoutWe stayed here for 3 nights on our trip from Texas. Quiet, pet and kid friendly, and the staff was great! Clean grounds that they are constantly working on- and the bakery was delicious for breakfast. Close to Montana, Big Horn National park, Sheridan, etc. great location! But the staff was just above and beyond- so friendly, so helpful, and we’d stay here again!
GuideA 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.
TravelerStaff 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.
