Bighorn National Forest Sibley Lake Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing, paddling, and lakeside exploration anchor the experience at Bighorn National Forest Sibley Lake Campground, where a small dammed lake sits within easy walking distance of the sites. The campground runs 25 sites total, split between electric and non-electric loops, and stays open from mid-June through mid-September. Nearby options include Prune Creek to the northwest and Pine Island Group Area a few miles away, and campers planning a longer stay in the region can browse pet-friendly campgrounds around Bighorn National Forest for additional sites that welcome dogs.

Sites are set among dense pine, with the wooded layout providing shade but limited privacy between neighbors. The electric loop sites have been noted as more spacious and spread out than the non-electric sites. Generators run regularly, so expect some ambient noise. One bear box serves the shared loop, and the campground host has been known to stop by on arrival to flag active black bear activity in the area. Squirrels are a constant presence.

Water is available at the campground but not piped to individual sites. Pit toilets are on-site and reviewers consistently describe them as clean. The lake is stocked with multiple trout species, and fishing activity tends to be steady throughout the season. Veronica S. notes you can "walk to the small, damned lake and explore," and the nearby Black Mountain Lookout trail gives hikers a solid half-day option from camp.

Small, beautiful, little privacy

The campground is fairly small. They installed one bear box for all on our loop to share. We just kept everything in the car. When we got here, the host stopped by and introduced himself. Said there is a black bear frequenting the campground and we should not leave anything that smells out. The sites are wooded, but fairly close together. Not a whole lot of privacy. Lots of generators running. I never did figure out where we were supposed to dump our wash basins.. the sites along the woods kind of made it akward to go out there and spread it. There weren't any marked drains or anything. 

The squirrles here are endlessly entertaining. There were even a robin and squirrel playing? Or maybe the squirrel was causing trouble. See video. You can walk to the small, damned lake and explore. We did nearby Black Mountain Lookout trail and it was amazing.

  • Super tame squirrel. Might be the same one that actually jumped off my leg while running away from the bird.
