2013 Eastside 2nd Street Sheridan, WY 82801
Tent campers chasing solitude, stream fishing, and genuine wildlife encounters will find this hard to beat. Moose sightings near the adjacent meadow are nearly routine, trout are in the creek, and the camp host keeps the place remarkably clean. Bring cash and pack in everything:
No potable water is currently available, so plan accordingly. RVs should avoid the access road entirely per multiple reviews. Sites sit close together with no understory buffer, shade keeps things damp even mid-summer, and there are no showers within 23 miles.
