In the Bighorn Mountains, you’re bound to see an abundance of wildlife no matter where you decide to set up shop.

If you really want to hedge your bets, however, you might want to make Ranger Creek Recreation Area your first choice. Situated right next to an open meadow, the animal viewing is out of this world! If waiting patiently isn’t really your thing, hit one of the many trails in the area - it’s easy access from here to the ethereal sounding Cloud Peak Wilderness. Remember folks, this is bear country: follow the park’s guidelines on food storage and you’ll have no problem viewing the wildlife from a comfortable distance.

Ten Sleep Brewing Co.

17 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Ten Sleep, WY
Our Brewery is located in a field next to Signal Butte, a beautiful red cliff at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in Ten Sleep Wyoming. We are surrounded by beautiful vistas! Our talented Brewers make some of the best beer in the state! Each small camp site offers a shaded picnic table per site, nearby port a potties, access to limited brewery wifi with incredible vistas all around. A very unique and beautiful brewery camping experience! Please note! It is important to look at each sites description when booking as some sites accommodate different sized camping rigs. Also please note we are located next to a Red Vista RV park. If you turn to soon you will be at Red Vista RV park which has concrete pads. SOOOO if you are at the concrete pads you are in the wrong spot. Check in at Brewery upon arrival. If you love to climb and experience the outdoors this is your place. Rich in history, this ranching town was the halfway point—or ten “sleeps”—between two major Sioux Indian camps. Surrounded by working sheep and cattle farms, today’s Ten Sleep, with a permanent population of only 260 is a fun detour for those on the way to Yellowstone National Park, and to the nearby Bighorn National Forest. Ten Sleep is so close to the Bighorn Mountains that you can’t see them from most places in town—the striking reddish-hued foothills block the view. But you can’t help taking in Ten Sleep Canyon, which rises into the mountains starting about six miles east of town and has grown in the past couple of decades into one of America’s top summer climbing destinations, with more than 800 climbing routes! Our guests also love staying with us! "Camping at a brewery was so convenient for us. The beer was super tasty and it was awesome that all we had to do was walk to our tent afterwards. And it was supercool to spot some pronghorn antelope right on the property."

Camp at the Rafter JB

1 site · RV8 acres · Lovell, WY
We have been blessed with this beautiful property and want to share it with others. We have been operating an Airbnb out of the old barn for 3 years now. The barn was the old feed store in Cody and was moved to this property. Buffalo Bill supposedly bought feed from the store. Lovell is known as the Rose Capitol of Wyoming with the climate being perfect for growing roses. The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustangs are just minutes from our place and we almost always see them out there. Cody, only 50 to the west is a town loaded with history of the old west and features Cody Nite Rodeo every night of the summer from June 1 through August 30 as well as numerous museums and other attractions. Buffalo Bill Museum of the West will keep you busy for a couple of days if you are a museum buff. Just about everyday in the summer, you are likely to see a gunfight on the street in front of the historic Irma Hotel. There is also Old Trail Town, a recreated old west town. Further to the west just 90 miles from here is the East gate of Yellowstone open from the end of May until first of November. Thermopolis with their giant hot springs is just about 100 miles to the south of us. The Bighorn National Recreation is just minutes from Lovell featuring the 3rd Largest Canyon in the United States with breathtaking views of the Reservoir from Devil's Overlook. Further to the east are the Bighorn Mountains where you can frequently see moose, elk, deer and other wildlife. Learn more about this land: Traveling in your RV but don't want a traditional "trailer park"? At the Rafter JB you will be the only trailer here, you will enjoy a large landscaped outdoor space which is shared with an Airbnb rental, but there is plenty of room for privacy. You will be away from the main road and can enjoy the pond, fire pit, bbq grill as well as the resident horses.

Spiritriders Lodging and Camping

5 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Buffalo, WY
40 end of the road acres with amazing views of the Big Horn Mountains. It's 12 min. from historic Buffalo, Wy off of I-25. Lots of antelope on property along with several head of horses. Night skies are amazing and so is the peace and quiet. Perfect place to make base camp while you explore the area. I was in the wagon train business for years so I needed a place to put wagons, mules , horses, horse trailers and stack hay and store range teepees. This property is off the old Bozeman trail and the history is rich. Each camp site is private and not close to anyone or anything. If you enjoy quiet...welcome.Stock ponds are full and the green is back!! New baby twin antelope show up daily. Bring the kids and dog and enjoy the space and clear skies.

We own this property for over 20 years. 20 acres for our horses to roam and now we have decided add a cool place for guests to stay. Please be aware of that this is a property where we do experience bugs, horse poop and some horse/trailer traffic. We are trying hard to keep bugs out of tents and the horse poop in the pastures. The two tents are located on our property next to some large cottonwood trees and our house is not to far. If you have any special requests we are happy to assist. Please ask us about our ranch eggs. We are happy to share. We also own an outfitting business and take folks on guidedhorseback rides in the Bighorns for an extra charge.
