Sheep Mountain BLM

I’ve quiet place by buffalo bill state park. BLM land so no fees. Only saw two others camping and a few going up to hike the trail. Plenty of space.

Just a plot of land, when I showed up there was already a camper van. Next to the water, Stars were amazing!

I stayed at the top by the trailhead. It had plenty of room for others but the road was rough up so no one came that way. There were two nice spots at the beginning of the road that were being used. The view was beautiful. I loved it

There is a campground but I refuse to pay $13.88 more than a “resident”. They should just say they don’t want outsiders. Especially when there was plenty of BLM LAND ALL AROUND. If you pass the outrageously priced state campground there are two roads that lead to the lake labeled first, 11 then 10. There is no camping allowed at the water but at the turnoff for road 10 is a nice open area to camp at, for free. Cell service, ATT was good. I will say I had thunderstorms which helped block the sun and cool down the area since I was here in July.

This spot is 45 mins from the East entrance. It’s easy to find but offers limited space. No issues finding a spot at 6:30pm on a holiday weekend. Not incredibly clear what was fair game for spaces but there was an RV up near the trailhead and another car camper in a circle (this looked like the place to be for a view!). We ended up by the giant rock pile by the beginning of the road. Marking this down for distance from the park and marking of spaces. But hey, it’s free!

We saw this spot on the dyrt and headed this way after Yellowstone. We were the only ones there when we arrived, it was beautiful landscape and silent. We could let our dogs explore and had lots of space. It was easy to level out the RV using the terrain. Later on, a car camper crew came next to us and were peaceful and respectful. The view made it so worth it plus the darkest nights to see the stars. Us 2, and our three wild dogs loved it.

Awesome site 45 minutes from East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park and about 20 minutes to Cody. Where we camped you possibly could fit about 3 - 4 vehicles / tent sites. Below our site next to a gravel pile you could fit one possibly two bigger rigs and we saw people camped out at the trailhead to Sheep Mountain. I was able to fit my tundra double cab and 5x8 trailer at the spot we were in. Try to keep off of native vegetation and fires I personally wouldn’t recommend. These sites are located on a road with horses, please go slow and use 4x4 to avoid washboarding.

PLEASE pack in/pack out and keep the area clean as possible. I always pick up after other people so please try to keep the campsites clean.

We have a truck camper and stayed one evening. There were two other people camping in this area as well. Perfect for rooftop tent/car/van camping. We arrived around 7 PM and had no trouble finding the location or setting up a spot. The views are incredible and very peaceful in the evening. There is a little noise from the roadway in the morning time. There’s a lot of horse poo in the area, be prepared for that. No issues with animals or people for that matter. It was a bit windy. Would definitely stay here again.

Didn’t see marked sites so I just parked on a hill. Spectacular view of the Milky Way.

Parked the car in the cleared area between the gravel pit and the trailhead. We could see the whole valley and no one bothered us. Gorgeous views and for free!

We were able to haul our 45-ft fifth wheel and find level ground. There are some additional locations to park higher on the hill but the road to get there is a little more rough. I've seen smaller camper vans but we couldn't haul our big rig up there. We boondocked here all week. Not far from Yellowstone and the town of Cody with amenities. The sheep mountain hiking trailhead is right here and lots of off-roading trails for single and double track. Great views. It was rainy and windy half the time we were here (late May). The roads were dirt but still solid and well maintained. Some of the hiking and OHV trails got muddy up on the mountain.
