Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bighorn National Forest

391 Reviews

RV parks surrounding Bighorn National Forest provide full hookup options in several communities. Ten Broek RV Park in Ten Sleep operates from April through November with full hookup sites under shade trees along dirt roads. "Pull through site for the night did the job," noted one visitor about the park's practical layout. Shell Campground offers year-round RV sites with 30-amp hookups, sewer connections, and water, while accommodating big rigs in its simple layout. Worland RV Park & Campground features 50 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service, providing stable electrical connections and high-quality artesian well water according to guest feedback.

Access to dump stations requires planning when traveling through the region. The Burgess Junction dump station provides free dumping services with donations appreciated, offering a convenient option for RVs exploring forest campgrounds without sewer hookups. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the mountain range, with most parks in towns providing adequate coverage while forest locations typically lack connectivity. Near Highway 16, several dispersed camping areas can accommodate smaller RVs with suitable clearance, though one camper noted some forest roads become "rutted after a few rainy days." Propane fill services are limited in the immediate area, requiring travelers to stock up in larger communities before heading into the mountains. Pet-friendly policies exist at most established RV parks, with some implementing leash requirements and designated pet areas.

    Foothills Campground

    Great for fifth wheels/travel trailers

    We pulled into this small town at 7pm needing a place to stop for the night and they helped us right away. They had a pull through spot with full hook up available for $34 for the night. We have a 38 ft fifth wheel and there is plenty of space. Their cabins look a little run down, but if you need a cheap, quiet, close to the interstate place to stay with your camper, this is a nice stop. Perfect cell service as well.

    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.

    Deer Park RV Park and Campground

    Decent Private Campground

    This wasn’t our first stay at Deer Park Campground (CG), but it was our first time arriving from the west. We took the first Buffalo exit, which matched up with both RV Life and Waze GPS directions, and easily made our way to the CG. Check-in was quick and smooth. We were guided to premium pull-through site 104. There’s not much “premium”  about this gravel site—aside from its generous 80-foot length, which was more than enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F-450. The site included a picnic table, and the utilities were centered on the pad. We were able to position ourselves well between the two black tank dump outlets. Water pressure was decent at around 40 psi, and the 50 AMP electric service worked without issue. However, the grass was in desperate need of mowing. Right after we arrived, one of the workers began mowing the sites behind us. Those sites weren't filled the two nights we stayed. Since we had reservations, and they knew which site they were putting us in, it would have been nice if they had mowed the sites that were actually filled. We had two bars on Verizon and four bars on T-Mobile. While there are mature trees throughout the CG, satellite reception should be possible at most sites—especially if you can adjust your antenna. There are several “Deer Run” WiFi networks available. I connected to the first one I saw and got a surprising 279 Mbps upload and 119 Mbps download—an enormous improvement since our last visit about two years ago. Our T-Mobile hotspot also performed well, clocking in at 125 Mbps upload and 22.6 Mbps download. Sites are decently spaced, offering a bit of breathing room between neighbors. You can hear I-90 from the CG, but it’s far enough away that the noise isn’t bothersome. One of our favorite features was the nature trail near the front of the CG—about a half-mile loop—where we spotted several deer. A peaceful walk and a nice touch to the stay. We noticed that while the price per night has increased by $20 since we stayed in site 105 in September 2021, the facilities and the grounds haven't changed.

    Bighorn National Forest Tie Flume Campground

    It doesn't get much better than here!

    Honestly, this campground is pretty awesome. I love Wyoming and all the great campgrounds and outdoor activities they have, but this campground is definitely one of my favorites. Tie Flume Campground is located in the Bighorn National Forest, with scenery and wildlife all around you. You can't beat that! There are also so many activities to do here. You can hike, fish, hang around your campfire, and they also have a few historical sites located nearby. When I stayed here, I did a lot of hiking and fishing. I did most of my fishing along the South Tongue River which is within walking distance from the campground. The campground itself is pretty clean and well kept. I'm not sure if they offer big sites for RVs, but we stayed in a single family site which came with a camp fire ring and a picnic table. My family and I really enjoyed making a big campfire and making smores! We also cooked some fish one night that I caught in the river. I hiked Lily Lake Trail which is part of the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Really enjoyed this hike, great scenery and awesome views during the hike and at the top. I would definitely recommend hiking at least one of the days of your stay. Great location, great campground, and great atmosphere!

    Worland RV Park & Campground

    Great in town primarily RV park

    This is an immaculate, well maintained rv park/ campground. When we came through in early May all the federal campgrounds in the area were still closed. This campground was very much appreciated. Don’t let first impressions fool you. We paid 33 per night (possibly off season?) for a shaded, electric only, pull through, level site. They do offer FHU sites too. WiFi is available, but you are asked not to stream. TMobile service great. Reasonably priced, clean, efficient laundry. HOT, clean showers. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They know their area and love to help with visitor information. The newer section of the campground is NOT shaded and the sites are close. There are tent sites on grass, but they are close together and on the main entrance. We were there in May, sugar beet processing time. The whole town smelled very bad periodically.

    Castle Gardens

    Amazing

    This is an amazing free BLM campground. It’s about 5 miles off of Hwy 16, gravel with occasional washboarding, but overall doable for most vehicles. We had intended to drive a bit further east before looking for a place for the night, but decided to pull off the road to check out the Castle Gardens, for which we saw a sign on the road. We didn’t even know it was a campground until we got there, and wow. What an amazing, beautiful, peaceful, quiet place. There are 4 sites in a loop, each with a shade structure, picnic table, grill, and fire pit. Spot #1 is better suited for tent campers, as you park your car along the loop and then walk a little bit up to the camp area. #2 (the one we chose) has a long driveway leading to the site, so you feel even more secluded, even though the entire campground is pretty secluded. #3 is a shorter driveway that backs to the campsite, and #4 is a pull through. None of the sites were very level. 

    There is a single vault toilet here, but otherwise no other amenities. No trash service so please keep the area clean. 14 day stay limit. Cell service is existent but iffy. Verizon went between zero service to 3 bars. Up on the hill overlooking the campground there’s good service for both ATT and Verizon. We didn’t see a single other person while we were here on a weekday in late September.
