The Bighorn National Forest offers a wide array of sites for camping. Many sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis and some may be reserved.
Campground and cabin reservations may be made through Recreation.gov at 1-877-444-6777 or online at http://www.recreation.gov. Reservations are recommended for holiday weekends.
Located in north-central Wyoming, the Bighorn Mountains are a sister range of the Rocky Mountains. Conveniently located halfway between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park, the Bighorns are a great vacation destination in themselves.
No region in Wyoming is provided with a more diverse landscape - from grasslands to alpine meadows, clear lakes to glacially-carved valleys and rolling hills to sheer mountain cliffs.
Visit the Bighorn National Forest and enjoy the multiple reservoirs, 30 campgrounds, four group campgrounds, three scenic byways, 10 picnic areas, eight lodges, many miles of streams, 189,000 acres of Wilderness, 1,200 miles of trails, and much more.
Went through the Big Horn at different locations on our way to/from South Dakota. The roads are in good shape, the views are awesome!
Ample look out pull offs. Places for snow mobiles, camping, hiking, cycling, rock climbing... Lots to do!
Grew up near here and still live spending time in the Bighorns. Access is excellent even to more remote areas (this can lead to more people too though). Plenty of campgrounds and places to explore.
This is one out the best treasures in the world it's under looked by ago many people because Wyoming has its national park to but it really is si beautiful and has so many trails for so many different sports and the views and wild life are amazing
I drove through Bighorn National Forest from Dayton to Shell on US 14. The drive is amazing and there are many locations for hiking and camping. I definitely recommend stopping at the Sibley Lake picnic area, as well as the Shell Creek Rest Stop.
Park Reservoir is one of the great beautiful places left. Unspoiled by motorized boats, since they're banned, so it's a great place to do some relaxing kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. Roads are pretty rough getting there but it's definitely worth it.
