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!

We stayed overnight. When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to out our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! It looked like it was an apocalypse film with the critters. We moved our tent far away from the tree they were on and were able to set up shop. The facilities were okay, the lake was beautiful! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don’t mind ants and buggy critters.

We camped here in early October. The skeletal remains of the buildings were on private property, however the roads and such were on BLM land so we parked right across from the buildings and set up the Truck Camper. There’s a plaque that explains the history of the town up the road from the buildings, and just beyond that a ways is the cemetery. It was sad to see all the graves as they were children and infants who died from the Spanish Flu or Diptheria. One gentleman we ran in to said the town wasn’t merely bulldozed but also buried! We had fun walking around and camping there for the night. There were no sounds! It was VERY quiet! No birds, crickets, insects, or wildlife. Just the gentle breeze, and one lone coyote at about 2 am.

There are no toilets or water, so prepare accordingly.

There was also a burn ban in effect so we used our portable camping stove. Make sure to check burn bans before you camp! We had so much fun, and hope other people visit too. Please be respectful of this historical relic so it can be around for as long as it can! Don’t damage your History!

Definitely recommend 4 wheel drive to traverse this area. The roads are rocky, rutted, and worn down!
