Bighorn National Forest
Beautiful and Breathtaking. Peaceful
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!

Lazy R Campground
Self Service, Easy In, Easy Out, Clean, Safe
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.

Five Springs Falls Campground
Nice forest service campground
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

Island Park Campground
Nice campground, beautiful surroundings
Pulled into spot and two moose were browsing on the stream bank in front of us. Campground was well spaced out and host very friendly. Great views and walking paths along stream with meadow on opposite side and mountains in background. Easy access about 2 miles in on graded dirt road. Only drawback was no cell service (Verizon). Not first come first serve, but in early September mid-week, there were several sites available.

Convenient & Quiet with Onsite Bakery
We 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.

Greybull KOA
Fantastic KOA after NF camping
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.

Simple stop for an overnight
Nice location for a quick overnight. Pads were level, sites easy to back into, 50 amp, water and dump all easy and functional.

Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA
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.

Typical KOA
It’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.

Good choice for the area
Clean. Friendly. Noisy from interstate traffic. Close to town. Bike trails from the campground. WiFi not available at the far end. Need a repeater.

RangerIsland Park Campground
Stream runs behind it
Decent, small campground. Few sites are level. Fire pit needed cleaning. Toilets were clean. Camp hosts on site, but never came by. Evidently there was a family reunion of sorts so some noise. They kayaked on the stream behind the camp sites.

Island Park Campground
Beautiful setting
Small but busy park. Best sites for views are along creek where you can watch moose beaver and trout in creek and meadow. Can get noisy before quiet hours. A lot of people drive through looking for campsite and kids were rambunctious when we were there. Great camp host

Bighorn National Forest
Incredible area!
We 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.

Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA
Nicest park in area
Older 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.

This campground is fairly flat with gravel roadway and gravel sites. There is a nice blend of shade trees and evergreens. Some sites are great for solar and some well shaded. Very quiet.
Directions: From Ten Sleep, WY, take Highway 16 for about 21.2 miles to FSR 27, turn left and drive 3 miles to the campground

Amazing !
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!

Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA
Typical KOA
Staff 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.
Jan S.GuideSheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA
Just off hwy with load ttuck noise but good overnight stop
Level 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.

Very pretty campground
Very nice camp host and beautiful campground. A little spendy for what they had to offer us. We ended up not staying because it was $30 for us to park in gravel in the middle of their lot. The cabins and tents looked really nice but were booked up for the night.

We don’t normally camp at fancy places like a koa but we were needing a spot on our way to Yellowstone. The hosts were super nice, everything was clean and there was a nice hot shower.

Loved this one!
We stayed here for 3 nights on our trip from Texas. Quiet, pet and kid friendly, and the staff was great! Clean grounds that they are constantly working on- and the bakery was delicious for breakfast. Close to Montana, Big Horn National park, Sheridan, etc. great location! But the staff was just above and beyond- so friendly, so helpful, and we’d stay here again!
