Great experience easy to find and given the time we went no one was there.
Guide
We dispersed camped north of MeadowLark Lake along FS Road 427 I believe! It was beautiful, and so peaceful. We did get stormed on but our tent held out really well! These dispersed sites are developed and first come first serve. We enjoyed our coffee next to the river!
No water or Toilets so plan accordingly, and check out the Bighorns USDA Website for any burn bans or camping information you may need!
There are bears out in this forest, recommend putting all food in your hard sided truck, Car, or camper! A human fed bear is a dead bear!
Guide
We camped here in early October. The skeletal remains of the buildings were on private property, however the roads and such were on BLM land so we parked right across from the buildings and set up the Truck Camper. There’s a plaque that explains the history of the town up the road from the buildings, and just beyond that a ways is the cemetery. It was sad to see all the graves as they were children and infants who died from the Spanish Flu or Diptheria. One gentleman we ran in to said the town wasn’t merely bulldozed but also buried! We had fun walking around and camping there for the night. There were no sounds! It was VERY quiet! No birds, crickets, insects, or wildlife. Just the gentle breeze, and one lone coyote at about 2 am.
There are no toilets or water, so prepare accordingly.
There was also a burn ban in effect so we used our portable camping stove. Make sure to check burn bans before you camp! We had so much fun, and hope other people visit too. Please be respectful of this historical relic so it can be around for as long as it can! Don’t damage your History!
Definitely recommend 4 wheel drive to traverse this area. The roads are rocky, rutted, and worn down!
Traveler
Found this by chance en route to custer state park. Lots of pitches. Quiet and had spot right by lake. Clean toilets. Make sure to take a pen to be able to check in/complete envelope.

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.
Guide
This is a great RV park with access to Worland and all it has to offer. If you’re in an RV it’s super convenient, very easy to find, and affordable with average size lots. Tenting wise, if you don’t have any other tent choices it’ll do, but tent sites- while cozy grass and intended to be private- were close together, between two busy lanes, somewhat distant from bathrooms/shower/laundry (which were all immaculate), and towards the front of property where highway traffic, train, and downtown noise were a factor. If you want space and quiet keep heading out of town an hour (nearly any direction) to make it to a USFS campground, but if you can’t Worland RV Park will be fine for an overnight stop. Staff was very friendly and all facilities, including WiFi, were secure also.

We recently stayed at Crippled Spider Ranch, and it exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in the beautiful landscape near Thermopolis, Wyoming, this ranch offers a truly unique camping experience that caters to adventurers, families, and solo travelers alike.
Campsites & Amenities: The ranch has 71 spacious spots, including full and partial hookups for RVs, and plenty of space for dry camping. The sites are well-maintained, and the full hookups provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. For those looking for an extended stay, they even offer 15% off for bookings over 7 days!
Activities & Attractions: One of the best parts of Crippled Spider Ranch is the variety of activities on-site and nearby. There’s something for everyone—whether it’s hiking on the BLM land that borders the property, petting zoo visits for the kids, or even learning to ranch and milk cows! The property is also a great base for rock hounding and exploring Wyoming’s natural beauty. You can even hunt (seasonal) or target shoot, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those interested in history, the ranch is near the historic Oregon Trail, and there are great opportunities for treasure hunters like metal detecting and exploring old ghost towns.
Staff & Hospitality: The hospitality here is second to none! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. You’ll feel like family from the moment you arrive. They even offer fresh, free-range eggs from their chickens and have a fun “catch-and-cook” option if you’re into farm-to-table experiences.
Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Focus: Crippled Spider Ranch also takes pride in its sustainable practices, from responsible livestock management to preserving the surrounding wilderness. This ranch is a great choice for eco-conscious travelers who want to enjoy nature responsibly.
Overall Experience: Crippled Spider Ranch is the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and Wyoming charm. Whether you’re a family looking for a weekend getaway or a solo adventurer seeking peace and quiet in the great outdoors, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for more!
Tip: Be sure to book early for special events, and don’t forget to check out the nearby mineral hot springs in Thermopolis!

Totally agree with person who said this is in top 5 sites. Awesome views, level ground, easy access, lots of room for many. However, it's county road 402 not 403!

Wonderful staff and friendly. Got my laundry done, showers, and lovely shady spot and they have a pool!
GuideThe breathtaking Bighorn Mountains at 9000 ft elevation, good for rigs of all sizes but be advised you may want to scout the road the further you get into the camping area as it can be a bit rough (with water crossing at one point).

Our first time staying at a KOA Journey and although right off the main road, the noise was not bad at all, amenities were terrific and although we were not right by the creek, we managed to get some decent fishing in, views were great, even though we caught no fish.
LegendNice 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
Guide
We enjoyed our stay here, many spots to pick from, but a few things to be advised about.
1. When we arrived it looked like a lot of the locals"dropped" their campers there for storage to avoid paying storage fees. However, while we were there the National Forest staff came in several times and started tagging these RVs and most of them were removed within a week or so.
2. This place is a haven for SxS and ATV traffic on the weekend so it can get loud and very dusty
3. Hundreds of free-range cattle, so if you are not comfortable with them walking in and through your campsite you may want to pick another location.
4. There is only one place in all the area that has cell coverage and turns out we camped on that hill without knowing it so we had traffic all day with people parking in and around our campers to use their phones.
We did a video review of this spot if you are interested here is the link https://youtu.be/gpm9THujEow
We enjoyed our stay even with those items we listed above, would stay here again for sure. Thank you to the National Forest Staff for patrolling this area!!!

For free? Doesn’t get better than this. Great trails nearby, a little river to sit by in the morning/evening. We set up chairs on a small bridge and watched someone fish at sunset.

Tons and tons of spaces. No Verizon service. The sites are pretty spaced out and some of them are actually really nicely tucked in the pine trees.
GuideSo amazing. Peaceful and quiet, even with some other campers here. The cell phone service with Verizon is perfect and the view is to die for. You can also hear the cows across the road, which I love. The road in is so easy, no rigs should have any issues.
GuideThis is a great spot. Wide open area for camping so you’re not right on top of anyone. The views were amazing. Pretty windy as others stated, but was nice during the hot days. Nights were a tad chilly. Downside is there’s absolutely no shade and horseflies are in plenty. Thankfully I have a screen tent that provided some shade and relief from the flies. Overall a great spot, not too far from town. Better if you have a camper over a tent.

Great hosts at this campground, interesting and beautiful National Forest, lots of ATV trails. A bit far from good hikes, would likely need to drive to a trailhead instead of just setting out from the campground if you wanted to make good time.
Scoutlevel sites. laundry room and bathroom was immaculate.

Good showers. Helpful and friendly staff. We got last available site because it was Longmire Days in Buffalo. Decent site although hookups needed some attention. Needed about 25’ of hoses to get to water hookup. Quiet at night. Level sites.

The campground and cabins have been completely redone. The new owner is amazing and very welcoming. The cabins, bathhouse etc are all either new or remodeled. The campground is located right on the Tongue River and is a convenient walk to everything in the town of Dayton. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

The staff were nice, but we will not stay here again. The pictures speak for themselves.
RangerBeautiful views. Be prepared for tall grass and horse flies. We parked at the end by the private fence and by morning several hikers with dogs came and parked right next to our site. Good Verizon service.
LegendSpectacular views and wildlife. Easy to find a level spot. Wild horses.

1 RV site and about 10 tent sites. 2 mile narrow winding road is paved but not recommended for vehicles over 24'. Garbage and 1 common water source. RV site is about as sweet as they come. Water, dump, elect, picnic tables, fire ring, right by a stream. $7 per night
TravelerBy far one of the most beautiful places I’ve camped. The field is in bloom right now (June 15) with purple and yellow flowers. We’re definitely up in elevation and can see lush forests and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Super lush green field to camp in. Super easy to get to from main road. No road traffic sounds. Chilly at night.
