    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.

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful High

    Fee:  $19.00

    Limit 14 days 

    Reserve: 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov 

    Sites: 32 single sites 

    Host on site picnic table fire ring lantern pole water trash 

    Some sites are close together with some more private, some are shady and some no shade at all. There small boulders scattered around the site and with the beginnings of the fall colors beginning to turn beautiful. There is a small creek that runs along the back side of some of the sites. 

    The road and sites are covered with gravel. Drive slow to keep the dust down. 

    This is a very peaceful site and great to enjoy all the Bighorn has to offer. You will find off road trails, scenic jeep roads and hiking trails. Meadow Lark Lake is a short distance from the campground. The nearest dump station is 15 miles at Powder River Pass.  Watch for the majestic moose wandering around the campground.

    Good choice for the area

    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.

Saddlestring, Wyoming sits at approximately 4,380 feet elevation, between the Bighorn Mountains and the Powder River Basin. The area experiences wide seasonal temperature variations with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and winter lows frequently below freezing.

What to do

Fishing at Lake DeSmet: Lake DeSmet, near The Lake Stop, offers trout and perch fishing with level lakeside sites. "Little odd to find, very nice level sites with picnic tables. Really quite also," notes one visitor about The Lake Stop's proximity to fishing opportunities.

Hiking in Bighorn National Forest: Dispersed camping at Grouse Mountain Basecamp provides direct access to mountain trails. "There's lots of Open spaces for the dog to run and for us. Enjoy the views, highly recommend and our starlink is super fast for work," mentions a camper who used this location as a base for hiking excursions.

Visit Ten Sleep Brewery: When staying in Ten Sleep, local craft beer is a must-visit. "If you're into craft beer, be sure to check out Ten Sleep Brewery— it's a local favorite and well worth the visit," recommends a visitor to Ten Sleep RV Park, noting it's a perfect activity after exploring Ten Sleep Canyon.

What campers like

"I connected to the first [WiFi network] I saw and got a surprising 279 Mbps upload and 119 Mbps download—an enormous improvement since our last visit about two years ago," reported a camper at Deer Park RV Park and Campground.

Nature trails for wildlife viewing: Some campgrounds offer on-site nature experiences. "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," noted visitors to Deer Park RV Park and Campground.

Year-round camping options: Unlike many seasonal campgrounds in the region, Buffalo KOA remains accessible even in winter. "Needed a quick, last-minute spot in December and this KOA was perfect. Great communication (can just stop by w/o a reservation) and easy access," shares a winter camper, highlighting the unusual year-round availability.

What you should know

Fire restrictions vary by location: Many campgrounds implement fire bans during dry periods. "There is currently a fire ban so no fires but that was to be expected," noted a camper at Deer Park. Another visitor mentioned, "No fires were allowed (I think if you have a portable gas fire pit you can use that) and no fire rings are provided" at Indian Campground.

Mountain weather changes rapidly: Campers at higher elevations should prepare for overnight temperature drops. "The temperature got down to 45° which is perfect for me for sleeping," noted a camper at Grouse Mountain Basecamp, while others reported waking up "in a cloud" after a clear sunset the night before.

Limited services in smaller towns: Stock up in Buffalo or Sheridan before heading to smaller communities. "Ten Sleep RV Park is a great little campground that's perfect for a stop before or after exploring the Bighorns and Ten Sleep Canyon. It's a small, well-kept park with full hookup RV sites and a few camping spots without services," mentions a visitor noting the limited amenities in smaller towns.

Tips for camping with families

Playground facilities: For families with children, Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA offers multiple recreation options. "They had a basketball court, horseshoe pits, mini golf, swimming pool, and some fun looking tricycles!" reports a visitor, highlighting the diverse activities available.

"Our spot was near the pool but it was far too cold and not yet set up," noted a May visitor to Sheridan KOA, suggesting families should verify pool availability during shoulder seasons.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children can enjoy spotting local wildlife around campgrounds. "Chances are you may have met a bee there that made that delicious honey. I did not use the pool but it was very clean. Super excited to walk out the rv in the morning and get greeted by several beautiful wild turkeys passing through," shared a camper at Indian Campground.

Tips from RVers

Overnight convenience stops: RV travelers making a quick stopover can find basic amenities at Love's RV Hookup in Buffalo. "Very very basic and it depends what you want to spend- but full hook up with sewer, water and electric and staff was SO friendly! Their 4 RV spots were full but we stopped and paid for the showers and then you can still park for free in a RV parking spot," explains one RVer.

Site selection for utility placement: When reserving RV camping near Saddlestring, Wyoming, utility placement varies significantly between parks. "Utilities are smartly placed in the middle of most sites. Water pressure is very good," noted a visitor to Deer Park RV Park, while another mentioned: "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."

Extended stay considerations: RVers planning longer stays should consider campground culture and policies.
