This is a very clean and well maintained spot. Ideal for a campervan or truck camper. Good covered picnic tables and nice pit toilets Also, the reservoir was quite a pretty spot
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!

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.

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.

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!
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).

Unknown except for locals who picnic here. Campground is almost empty. No site #s. State park but more like a city campground. Grass and clover to camp on. Tongue river surrounds camp. $20.34 for non residents!
Traveler
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.
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.
Guide
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.
Guide
Didn’t end up staying overnight, but enjoyed some day use of the area. Gorgeous views, well-kept pit toilets (with hand sanitizer!) and it wasn’t too busy.
Scoutlevel sites. laundry room and bathroom was immaculate.

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.
GuideSites are narrow but doable. Not a place to hang out all day but a nice base close to town at a reasonable price. It is near a hill so trucks engines can get loud if your site is near the road. We were away from the road and it wasn’t an issue. Easy access to I-90 but no noise from the interstate.
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.
RangerVery easy to find and probably 20 to 25 Camping spots. Some hold rigs up to 35 ft. Dual vault toilet, metal fire pits dispersed. Garbage cans available and picnic tables. However, disrespect of the land and garbage in many places outside of the cans. Sound travels across the water and some disrespectful people. Nice for one night but also stayed 4th of July weekend so might be more crowded than usual. Also, very, very windy up here. Not recommended for tents
Traveler
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.
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.
ScoutThis was a beautiful spot not far off I90. We pulled in on a Friday in June after 5pm and found a spot. If it hadn’t been for the annual Bighorn Trail race that was happening that weekend we probably wouldn’t have had as many neighbors as we did. Each campsite is marked with a small brown tent sign that can be hard to spot but there is a map at the entrance of the campsite locations.

Stayed for just one night. Great sites and a beautiful area with plenty of trails to hike. Had a big bull moose sitting in our site upon arrival and he stayed nearby all day and night so caution with pets is recommended.
Guide
We arrived without reservations and Peter D was a great and have us a lot of good recommendations around town. Sites are gravel and level.
