    Indian Campground & RV Park in Buffalo, Wyoming is located halfway between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park, at the junction of I-90 and I-25. We are an ideal stopping off point to visit the beautiful Big Horn Mountains, the Bighorn National Forest, and the Historic Bozeman Trail sites. We are also at the point where these two interstates meet up with the Cloud Peak Scenic Byway (also known as Highway 16). Easy off and easy on -- just 1/2 block west of I-25's exit 299. This is the shortest, safest and most scenic route to Yellowstone Park - with the least grade for those big outfits. We have over 200 large, mature shade trees - pruned and ready to accommodate your rig to protect you and your valuable equipment. We also have grassy tent sites right next to a stream and cabin rentals. Our large swimming pool is heated to a perfect 84 degrees!

      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!

      Beautiful site

      Found this by chance en route to custer state park. Lots of pitches. Quiet and had spot right by lake. Clean toilets. Make sure to take a pen to be able to check in/complete envelope.

      Our First KOA!

      Our first time staying at a KOA Journey and although right off the main road, the noise was not bad at all, amenities were terrific and although we were not right by the creek, we managed to get some decent fishing in, views were great, even though we caught no fish.

      Deer Park RV

      Nice little campground for stopover. Staff is super friendly and stayed past closing (7pm) to assist late arrivals. Sites are level and pull thru, although a bit narrow. No dog park but plenty of room to walk them. Cheaper than the KOA down the street

      Amazing spot right next to the river

      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.

      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.

      serene and scenic

      Paid $15 to camp. Had a park for playing that was a big hit. A store right near by had some supplies including wood for $7.50

      Beautiful sunset. Has picnic tables and firepits but no grate for cooking. A few sites are good for tents and more are good for RVs because they have gravel.

      Accessibility

      The gravel drive and lots are compacted and easy to maneuver with an electric wheelchair. I think a manual could do it as well. Shower and toilets are not accessible unless you can stand and walk short distances. Washer and driers are accessible but the main door into the office has a2” lip that can stop you if you’re not at speed. Great feeling to the overall area. Right by freeway so some noise but trees help.

      Last minute reservation with good service

      We came in and got a last minute tent site on Memorial Day weekend and were treated very well with good recommendations for ice cream and willingness to help us out when we realized we left things at home. Our spot was a beautiful little tent spot right along the creek.

      Spaced out and simple

      Check in is via honor system. Most sites have some from between them. Saw lots of pronghorn. Did get a bit windy in the night, especially in a tent. Bathrooms were closed.

      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.

      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.

      Only 1 night on our way west.

      We are here for only one night on our way to the east coast.  Lots of trees and with plenty of space for sitting in the shade.  Very level parking space in the #9 pull thru. Since we make a couple trips this way each year we will plan on being here again, maybe for 2 or 3 days so we can just relax and use the pool and walking trail. WiFi works great here also!

      Peaceful overnight with skipping stones and cows

      Great little spot between Bad Lands and Yellowstone. Pulled in late, had no problem finding a spot and paying. Vault toilets that are clean. Just a few other campers. Beautiful lake for skipping stones. Cows that occasionally block the road.

      Gem for travelers

      Stay here before staying at Lake Stop just before it. There is no contest which is more enjoyable and sweet of a spot. We were passing through and were happy to find this quiet place. We didn’t spend any daytime here as we arrived later and left early.

      Great bathrooms & showers

      A bit lower key than most KOA’s (that’s a positive for me). Few kids, and VERY clean bathrooms and showers with appropriate hooks, dry shower entries (probably because they had great shower curtains). Sites had reasonable spacing and some shade. Nice pool.

      Cute Little RV Park

      This 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.
