Big Horn Mountains (Sheridan/Buffalo WY)

[JAC1982]

Just planning for a future trip, so nothing emergent. Does anybody have favorite spots for the Big Horn Mountains in WY? We are 34' long and 13'5" tall. Hookups or no hookups, doesn't matter to us, we like to boondock. Main concerns are having space between campers, so majority of traditional RV parks are less than ideal for us but will do in a pinch. Ideally, 20-30' of space between campers if in a traditional park as we have dogs.

Thanks in advance!

I would not take our rig up or down 14A. It's just too hard on brakes and transmission. But 14 is doable.
For views, the campground Bald Mountain offers more of that.

Tie Flume is off route 14 southwest of Burgess Junction. Bald Mountain is off route 14A west of Burgess Junction. The Medicine Wheel access road is only about 1/2 mile away from Bald Mountain and the 3 mile round trip hike at elevation from the parking area to the Wheel was well worth the effort. Note: The steep descent on 14A to Lovell begins west of Bald Mountain, so no issue with the 10% grades.

Lots of boondocking locations off routes 14 and 14A. Check Google Earth.

Great, thank you! Both of these campgrounds look beautiful. Grades don't bother us much, but good info to know.
