Best Cabin Camping near Sheridan, WY

115 Reviews

Several cabin rental options exist near Sheridan, Wyoming, with varying amenities and features. Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA offers cabins with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. The Lake Stop and Buffalo KOA provide cabins with sewer hookups and trash service, while Foothills Campground cabins include electricity and water. Most properties offer cabins with basic furnishings, including beds and small tables. Bathrooms and showers are typically located in central facilities rather than inside cabins. "This place is clean, has a friendly and positive active staff, sides are large enough for the coach, the tow, and additional chairs/tables," noted one visitor about the Sheridan KOA.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Bear Lodge Resort and Lazy R Campground feature more traditional log cabin accommodations suitable for those seeking a woodsy experience. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when Bighorn National Forest visitation peaks. Pet policies vary by property—Buffalo KOA, Sheridan KOA, and Lazy R Campground all permit pets in their cabin areas, though additional fees may apply. According to one visitor, the Lazy R Campground offers "a great spot at the base of the Big Horns with fantastic owners," making it popular enough that calling ahead is recommended.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties—some cabins offer only outdoor fire rings for cooking while others may provide small refrigerators or microwaves. The Sheridan KOA and Buffalo KOA maintain on-site stores selling firewood, basic groceries, and camping supplies. The Lazy R Campground features an adjacent bakery and coffee shop serving breakfast items, with one reviewer recommending "their homemade biscuits." Winter visitors should confirm heating options, as several properties close seasonally, though Tongue River State Park Campground cabins remain available year-round.

    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.

    Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA

    Finally, a KOA without all the rock

    This is, finally, a KOA that isn’t covered in gravel and dust! There is real, green grass! The sites are small, and tight, but there is grass. They have mostly RV sites, with some tent sites and small cabins. Electric and water, some with sewer. There is a small store, game room and pool. The shower would be better with a real door, not just curtains. They have a good size dog park, plus an extra area for dogs to run, unfenced.

    Great waterfront sites available!

    Best to reserve your spot early if you want a waterfront site with power. If you are tent camping there are plenty of walk up sites. Fire pits and picnic tables at the sites and group sites are available. Outhouses are kept very clean and there is access to water throughout the State Park.

    Bighorn National Forest

    Dispersed Free Camping off Route 20

    Driving through Bighorn National Forest we found TONS of free dispersed camping off route 20.

    Sites are primitive… No running water, no electric, no restrooms. Sites consist of previously used dispersed site containing clearing and fire pits. There are camping spots for tents and RVs from large to small. If the first spot doesn’t suit you just keep traveling down route 20 to the next.

    Far apart and lots of privacy.

    We camped along a stream in a 32 foot RV. We were visited by a mother and baby moose.

    If you are seeking privacy, this is your place.

    No facilities, stores or cell service. You must be prepared and self sufficient.

    Buffalo KOA

    Great Cabins

    We arrived around 4pm with a reservation for a cabin. The host was great and a nice quiet place. Cabins are clean and the restroom/shower area is very well maintained. Stocked main office with good amenities. Our space heater in the cabin wasn’t working and was replaced quickly. There is a fire ban so no open fires or cooking. I opted to use my gas stove on the porch and there wasn’t a problem. Good location if your headed into Cody or Yellowstone within the next few days. TV also has a Roku adaptor. Laundry room/ shower open 24 hours.

    Tongue River State Park Campground

    Wow!

    Really amazing place. Thr vast majority of the sites are on the waterfront. Nice reservoir. I heard the fishing is great. Probably really busy in the summer. I visited in late October, so I pinky had one neighbor. Spaces are fairly private. Not many trees, fyi. Majority of sites have electric. Some double spaces on the water. Nice for groups. Picnic tables at each site. No wifi. ATT worked, my neighbor's Verizon did not. $30/ night with electric hookup.

    Indian Campground

    Not bad for in town camping

    We had a tent site along the creek. There were plenty of tent spaces the weekend in mid July when we were there, but the camper sites were booked. The couple who runs the campground were so nice and accommodating. I was in Buffalo for my son's regional baseball tournament and didn't know how many days I would need to book. They let me keep my tent pitched until I knew we would need the extra day way beyond check out time.

    The Bighorn Mountains are spectacular! The camp host provided us with maps and trails. The drive on highway 16 from Buffalo to Ten Sleep is amazing and worth getting off the beaten path and Interstate.

    This campground has clean showers that are free and coin laundry.

Cabin accommodations near Sheridan, Wyoming range from basic rustic shelters to more comfortable options with amenities. Located at elevations between 3,700 and 8,000 feet, the area experiences significant seasonal temperature variations with summer highs in the 80s and winter lows well below freezing.

The town of Sheridan has a very nice downtown area with quaint shops and cafes," notes one visitor about Bighorn National Forest.

At Mikesell Potts Recreation Area, one camper observed "nice lake front camping spots and some in the back with prong horns visiting." Another camper at Tongue River State Park Campground mentioned: "Really amazing place. The vast majority of the sites are on the waterfront. Nice reservoir. I heard the fishing is great."
