Big Horn Mts campsite suggestion

We did an overnight at Tie Flume Campground in the Bighorns when coming home from Yellowstone. Nice campground with a pretty stream adjacent. When going eastbound, it's about 7 miles before you get to Burgess Junction on Route 14. Watch the signs, as it is easy to drive by the turn off. If you go, make a stop at Shell Falls when going up the west side. Also a great long distance view across the Powder River Basin on a clear day from a pullout when going down the east side. Expect to use lower gears going up and down on route 14.

Thanks, We'll definitely check that out.

We love Deer Haven on the Tensleep side. Many times I have sat on a picnic table along the river and had moose rubbing their behinds on that same table as they struggle to get the very top shoots of the willows. If you want some hookups, Sibley Lake has an electric loop and water spigots that are not hand pumps. Sibley lake is on the Burgess Junction side.

We used this guide all the time for finding forest service campgrounds:

Dow's Forest Service Campground Guide

If you are traveling on US 14 I would recommend Tie Flume or Dead Swede, they are both good. If you are traveling US 14A I would recommend Porcupine on the far West end near Bald mountain or North Tongue near Burgess Junction. There is an RV dump station just East of Burgess junction if you stay at Porcupine you will be close to the Medicine Wheel, Porcupine Falls and Bucking Mule Falls.

If you like good pie stop at Bear Lodge near Burgess Junction and see big Mike.

Have a good trip

We have used Sibley Lake several times. We were there last summer for a week. Fishing at that time was decent. Spend the evening looking for moose, elk, and deer in the area. Some sites now have electric hookups also.

+1 for Sibley Lake.

Thanks for all the suggestions, we'll try to get in at Sibley Lake because of the electric available. This will be our last stop before we get back to the heat and humidity of the Midwest after 6 weeks in the mountains

I second Porcupine campground and if possible hike to the Medicine Wheel.

Highly recommend this campground, not only the nice stream running along side, but wonderful granite outcroppings to climb and explore. I consider it a must stop between Yellowstone and Black Hills.
