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!

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.
Guide
The staff were nice, but we will not stay here again. The pictures speak for themselves.

We just needed a quiet place to stay overnight on a road trip and this was a great option. We made the review online and the way the process is supposed to work is that you receive a text or an e-mail telling you what site to park in. Unfortunately I gave an incorrect e-mail address and had to call for support. The park host was very gracious and directed me to my site and sent me a text with the essential information.
The park is close to two great eateries - the Tongue River Brewery (Pizza) and Innominate (which means un-named) coffee shop with an incredible array of pastries, quiche, and hot and cold breakfast-type beverages.
ScoutStarting April 2023, the campground has been getting updates, remodels and new additions. If you have been here previously, you may not recognize it anymore.
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.

Refreshing stay in between Big Horn National Forest stays. Laundry, grocery a bike ride away and Lisa's (eat there) restaurant. Access to 2 mile bike/walking on the levee behind.
GuideNice location for a quick overnight. Pads were level, sites easy to back into, 50 amp, water and dump all easy and functional.
Legend
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.
Guide
This campground is in a grove of trees with the sites along dirt roads in the grove. Each site has water, sewage, and electric. Owners were nice and helpful. We really enjoyed this park.
GuideIt’s what you expect from KOA, clean level sites. Restrooms and showers were clean and except for some train noises, very quiet. A nice walking path along the Big Horn River.
TravelerClean. Friendly. Noisy from interstate traffic. Close to town. Bike trails from the campground. WiFi not available at the far end. Need a repeater.
TravelerThis horse friendly RV park is right outside the Bighorn Mountains, which offers beautiful views (check out Crazy Woman Canyon!) and recreational opportunities. They have a small grassy spot for tents. Clean bathrooms with showers and 24 hour laundry are available. It is right in the little town of Tensleep with a couple restaurants/bars and evening entertainment (when I stayed on a weekend, there was live music playing right down the road). The owner was very nice and accommodating.
TravelerLots of room. Very clean facilities. People are very nice. Cute little town of ten sleep.
Scout
This place is great, showers, toilets, community fridge, wifi, good vibes, everything you’ll need!
RangerSights are not too close. A little run down but fine for camping. Indoor pool for kids, bar and restaurant on property. $2 per shower, only 2 available and you go through the bar to get to them. Saw our first moose on the way from Greybull, which is where someone recommended this spot. Free WiFi, but only available near building.
GuideWe had so much fun! Great place to stop for alittle or awhile!! Very clean, lots of things to do, friendly people. Wish we could stay longer!
RangerGround were nice and showers, hot. These cabins were dated and like stepping back in time 30 years. Perfect place to stay to access park next door and river.
RangerPerfect stop for a couple nights. Easy access from highway 90. Clean grounds. Lots of cool shops in town. Beautiful view of Bighorn Mountains.
TravelerWe camped way back below Freeze Out Point and woke up to a spectacular sunrise and 4 moose right in camp. This is an incredible area. Very busy due to hunting season, so hold off heading back there this time of year unless that's what you're here for. Fresh snow was gorgeous! Roads were pretty sloppy, especially once they melted in the afternoon.
TravelerPull through site for the night did the job. Bathrooms were ok.
GuideOlder park that probably needs some updating, but nicest rv park in area. The other 2 are dirt parking lots. Lots of trees and greenery. The us here is the amazing staff. Couldnt be nicer or more accommodating! I mistakenly booked a site with water and power but NO sewer. This wasn’t going to work for us as we were there for 3 weeks. The staff worked their magic to get us into a full HU site.
GuideSo many available spots!
Scout
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. Totally recommend!
TravelerWe 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.
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.
GuideLevel sites. Nice staff. Good for overnight. Very small pull through sites with gravel only. Tiny dogpark. They advertise big open field were dogs can run off leash but as it is right off interstate I would not advise tbat.
