Beautiful

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.

Gem

This 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.

Remote on the river

The access road is in good shape. There are not a lot of sites. There is pit toilets, picnic tables and fore rings. But not muc else.. If you are in the area, I highly recommend the Tongue Canyon River trail. Really real l y good

Bucolic, gorgeous canyon roadside dispersed camping

Unless I missed something, this isn’t a campground but dispersed camping of about 7 spots plus a few extra little spaces to park and camp if you’re in a van before you hit the “no overnight camping beyond this point” sign.

This is a 5 star place for outdoor enthusiasts, mountain bikers, etc. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re in an rv or need anything fancy. It’s just a gorgeous little gem in nature and I was so lucky to find a spot on 4th of July weekend here headed east bound. Looking forward to my run on the trails after finishing my morning coffee watching the sunrise over this canyon!

Some of the spots have fire rings others don’t. Looks like there is a bathroom but in time of covid I’m avoiding those anyway.

Also as a female traveler felt pretty safe coming in here. The road in is gorgeous and bucolic with horse farms and the river. And the other folks camping seem to be here to be here - not to get into trouble.
