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.

We enjoyed our stay, and recommend it to others!
On our camping trip, this was by far our favorite stop. The bathrooms were very clean, with doors on the bathroom and shower entries. The individual shower stalls include a bench to set your belongings on so they won’t get wet. The laundry was also very clean. We were in our camper, and only viewed the cabins from the outside. They looked very quaint from the outside. There is also a playground adjacent to the grounds.

Adequate - gets the job done
Here off season so things were slim at the office. Gravel sites are level and hook ups are in proper location to connect. Lots of trees so plenty of shade. Laundry available , restrooms are clean , showers are aging somewhat. Shower head was at nose level, but it works and there’s hot water. Mostly quiet location. Some road noise but nothing major. Good Wi-Fi connection. Gets the job done.

Beautiful Lakeside Spot
Tent camper family of 6. Very well maintained campground. $15 to camp (must pay via cash). New playground, Several spots directly on the lake. Plenty of access to the lake for swimming. Firewood for sale $5. Quiet spot. Only downside was no potable water. Best hidden tent spot is 123 past the Dead End sign.

Clean carcamping/RV spot with attached bakery
Automated booking system at office when I pulled in. Clean spots for RV's. My carcamping/tent spot was a clean gravel site by the road, the skeeters just loved me. Trees provided some privacy and it was pretty quiet. A train will pass by early morning announcing itself! Showers are dated, with hot water, really good pressure though! Bakery is a huge plus🙂

TravelerMedicine Lodge State Archaelogical Site Campground
What a gem!
This is nothing like I thought it would be. An oasis. Nothingness and then down a dirt road and then it opens up to green grass, beautiful stream, late week spaced sites. Super well maintained. Historical sites are great and many walking paths. Several swimming holes. Shocked there were not more ppl. Highly recommend!
A C.GuideTongue River State Park Campground
Beautiful spot
This is a beautiful campground. There are a lot of electrical sites along the reservoir that would make for a beautiful morning scene. The tent spots were a bit out in the open — no trees around —- and it was pretty windy the night we were there. Otherwise, it’s great. A lot of vault toilets around, you didn’t have to walk far for one.
