11 ReviewsDayton, WY5 milesWebsite+1 (307) 684-7629$11 - $20 / night
"This is basically a city park, but away from the highway. Vault toilets, and the one near my campsite was reasonably clean. Lots of available sites, even on a Friday in mid-July."
"There is a train track nearby. We only heard 2 though. One late afternoon and one before 10 pm. It was not loud enough to be annoying. Lastly, come prepared."
2. Tongue River Campground
9 ReviewsDayton, WY3 milesWebsite+1 (307) 674-2600"Driving form Okc Ok. To Bellingham Wa. and in need of some time off the road. This spot was prefect to get out and stretch the legs and have a nice relaxing campfire dinner."
"The road is paved 90% of the way and the campsites are right next to the creek. Some have picnic tables, others not. We chose one without a table to be right on the water. Always flies, per usual."

Beautiful space set amoung the tall pines. Area is well kept and hiking galore.
Dead Swede Campground is named for the gentleman whose grave is located there. It is located in the Bighorn Scenic Byway and is well worth the trip. The campground is located east of U.S. Highway 14. While there check out the South Tongue River which is great for fishing.

Best in Sheridan WY
Sites are very tight but amenities are new and clean. Saw no better and a lot worse in Sheridan. Nice field out back to let dogs run. Also a dedicated dog park.

Deer Park RV
Nice little campground for stopover. Staff is super friendly and stayed past closing (7pm) to assist late arrivals. Sites are level and pull thru, although a bit narrow. No dog park but plenty of room to walk them. Cheaper than the KOA down the street

Average KOA
Average KOA. Sites are level. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dog park a little on the small side but adequate. I did not check out the bath house so can’t comment on that. Bring bug spray, the mosquitos will tote you off in the evening.

Best park yet!
We pulled in yesterday and were immediately impressed by the warm and professional check in processs. You are given a map of the camp that has helpful information about the surrounding area on the back (vet and doctor contacts, etc.) Charles leads you to your spot, which is level gravel and spacious. Each and every spot has an incredible view of the hills.
The camp is on a Mennonite farm, and the family has outdone themselves with making the surrounding area beautiful and clean. All sites are pull thru. No dog park but a great couple of trails up the hills behind the camp. Extremely family friendly. And just 6 miles from Little Bighorn Battlefield. We hope to be back!

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.
