Sheridan camping overview
Sheridan sits on the eastern flank of the Bighorn Mountains in north-central Wyoming, roughly halfway between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone along Interstate 90. The town works well as a basecamp for RV travelers: private parks cluster near the interstate exits and downtown, while public campgrounds fill the surrounding foothills and the Tongue River corridor.
In town and along the I-90 corridor, Peter D's RV Park, Jackalope Campground and Daltons RV Center, Sheridan / Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey, and Lazy R Campground and RV Park cover the paved, hookup-equipped end of the market. Jackalope is co-located with a service center, which is useful for travelers who need parts or minor repairs mid-trip.
For a more rustic stop, Connor Battlefield and Campground in nearby Ranchester places sites in a cottonwood-shaded oxbow of the Tongue River. Beyond the private parks, the Bighorn National Forest opens up a network of Forest Service campgrounds within a short drive west of Sheridan.
Things to do around Sheridan
The Bighorn National Forest is the main draw, with a large trail network and dozens of developed campgrounds, plus the Cloud Peak Wilderness along the spine of the range. Three scenic drives cross the mountains: the Bighorn Scenic Byway, the Cloud Peak Skyway, and the Medicine Wheel Passage.
Fishing is a common trip driver, with trout and whitefish in the Tongue River and trout in the high mountain lakes and streams. History stops are close by, including Fort Phil Kearny between Sheridan and Buffalo, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield a short drive north into Montana. In Sheridan itself, the Brinton Museum and the downtown historic district round out a rainy-day plan.

The usable RV season on the plains around Sheridan runs roughly from mid-spring through late October. Connor Battlefield, for example, operates on a first-come, first-served basis, camping is seasonal, and the park closes to camping and vehicles on October 31. Private parks in town generally operate on a longer shoulder season, but expect cold nights and the risk of snow into May and again in October.
Up in the Bighorns, the season is shorter and elevation-driven. Many Forest Service campgrounds are gated after their posted season closures, and a subset stay open for self-supported camping as weather permits, with no trash collection, water, or cleaning. Snow can linger on the high passes well into June.
Summer is peak. July and August bring the warmest, driest weather and the busiest campgrounds, along with wildlife-viewing and hunting traffic building into the fall. Winter is cold and dry on the plains, with heavier snow at elevation and most mountain campgrounds closed.
How to book campgrounds near Sheridan
Bighorn National Forest campgrounds and cabins are reserved through Recreation.gov, either online or by phone. Most sites open for reservations about six months ahead of the arrival date, and reservations are recommended for holiday weekends. Many sites remain first-come, first-served, so arriving early on a weekday helps.
Connor Battlefield and Campground does not take reservations; camping is on a first-come, first-served basis, and camping fees are posted at the entrance and can be paid by cash or check onsite. Private parks including Peter D's RV Park, Jackalope Campground and Daltons RV Center, Sheridan / Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey, and Lazy R Campground and RV Park take direct bookings through their own websites or brand apps; book pull-through and full-hookup sites well in advance for July and August.
What to expect on the ground
Hookups vary sharply by campground type. In-town parks near Sheridan generally offer full-service pull-throughs, laundry, showers, and Wi-Fi. Jackalope Campground and Daltons RV Center pairs RV sites with a service center next door, which is handy for on-the-road repairs.
Public sites are more basic. Electric hookups are hard to find in Bighorn National Forest campgrounds, and at Connor Battlefield there are no electric or water hookups, but there are water spigots located throughout the park, as well as vault toilets. Plan on arriving with full fresh water and empty tanks.
Wildlife is present, including elk, moose, deer, and bears in the forest, so use bear-aware food storage at elevation. Some mountain roads are not ideal for larger rigs; call ahead for road conditions before heading up.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Sheridan, WY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Sheridan, WY?
An RV rental in Sheridan, WY is one of the most affordable ways to explore Bighorn Mountain Country. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $95 to $160 per night, campervans average $135 to $215, and Class C motorhomes generally run $185 to $310 per night, depending on size, age, and season. Many Sheridan hosts include extras like camp chairs, kitchen kits, and bedding to stretch your budget further. For a cheap RV rental Sheridan travelers love, book midweek in May or September, when nightly rates drop and the Bighorns are still gorgeous. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to lock in your dates before peak Yellowstone-bound summer demand hits.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Sheridan%2C%20WyomingDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Sheridan, Wyoming?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Sheridan, Wyoming. Wyoming does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal RVs, including Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid license, and ID verification happens right inside the booking flow, so there is no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Pair your home license with an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued in your home country before you fly in. Most first-time renters in Sheridan are surprised how quickly the process moves from booking to keys-in-hand.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside assistance come with my Sheridan RV rental?
You are covered from the moment you book. Every RV rental in Sheridan, WY on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on US-14 over the Bighorns or a dead battery at the KOA is handled with one phone call. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV based on the coverage level you choose at checkout (this is set by RVezy, not the host). Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan and covers flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing. Pro tip: pick a higher-tier plan if you are heading into Bighorn National Forest, where gravel forest roads can kick up rock chips.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change after I book my Sheridan RV?
Booking your Sheridan RV trip is low-risk. RVezy sets a platform-wide cancellation policy (hosts do not set their own, and it is not displayed in individual listings), and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in dates with confidence. If a Wyoming snowstorm, wildfire, or family emergency disrupts your plans, RVezy support is reachable to help you sort out options. The refund amount depends on how close to your trip date you cancel, so review the cancellation details in your RVezy account before confirming. Pro tip: book early for July's Sheridan WYO Rodeo week, when local RVs go fast, and use the grace period to confirm campground reservations before fully committing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Sheridan?
Absolutely, the Bighorns are made for dogs. Plenty of pet-friendly RV rental Sheridan options are available on RVezy: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see hosts who happily welcome four-legged co-pilots. Sheridan is a dog town through and through, with Peter D's RV Park offering a 4,500-square-foot enclosed dog run and four acres for off-leash romping, and Kendrick Park downtown providing shaded grass for walks. Bighorn National Forest allows leashed dogs on nearly every trail, and the Tongue River Canyon Trail near Dayton is a local favorite. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and ask about their preferred cleanup routine.
fs.usda.gov/recreation/bighornCan the RV be delivered to my campground or house in Sheridan?
Yes, RV delivery Sheridan is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're flying into Sheridan County Airport (SHR) or nervous about driving a big rig. Many RVezy hosts offer delivery and setup straight to popular spots like the Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA on Decker Road, The Station RV Park near downtown, or even a friend's driveway. They'll level the RV, hook up water and power, and walk you through everything from the propane to the awning. Filter listings by Delivery to see options instantly. Pro tip: delivery to a Bighorn National Forest campground like Tie Flume or Sibley Lake is a game-changer for first-time renters who want the views without the mountain driving.
sheridancounty.com/airport/How far can I drive on a Sheridan RV rental, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got options. Most Sheridan hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some list RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer Wyoming road trips. Additional miles typically run $0.30 to $0.50 each, so plan your route and you'll know exactly what to budget. Common Sheridan RV trip distances: Devils Tower National Monument is about 150 miles east, Yellowstone's Northeast Entrance via the Beartooth Highway is roughly 230 miles, Mount Rushmore is about 280 miles, and Glacier National Park is around 470 miles. Pro tip: if you're planning a true RV road trip from Sheridan that loops Yellowstone and the Tetons, filter for unlimited-mileage listings first and message the host with your itinerary.
nps.gov/deto/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Sheridan, WY for my RV?
You're spoiled for choice. Top picks for RV camping Sheridan travelers love include Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey on Decker Road (full hookups, pool, named RV Life's Best of the Best for 2025), Peter D's RV Park on Joe Street (60-foot pull-throughs, two-block walk to historic downtown), The Station RV Park on Lincoln Drive (12 acres within walking distance of Main Street breweries), and Dalton's Jackalope Campground on Heartland Drive (50 full-service sites with on-site RV parts and service). For mountain immersion, head 30 to 45 minutes west into Bighorn National Forest for Tie Flume, Sibley Lake, or Dead Swede Campground. Pro tip: reserve forest service sites on Recreation.gov up to six months in advance for July and August weekends.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2733When is the best time to take a Sheridan RV trip?
Mid-June through mid-September is the sweet spot. Sheridan summers are short, dry, and beautiful, with July highs around 85°F and cool nights in the 50s that are perfect for campfires. June brings wildflowers and the wettest weather (still only about 2.4 inches of rain). The Sheridan WYO Rodeo in mid-July and Don King Days over Labor Day weekend are bucket-list events. Shoulder season in May and late September offers cheaper rates and stunning fall color in the Bighorns, though high-elevation campgrounds like Sibley Lake may close by early October. Winter (December to February) drops to teens and single digits with regular snow. Pro tip: late August through mid-September is the local insider's favorite, warm days, no bugs, and elk bugling in the foothills.
weather.gov/byz/I have never rented an RV before. How do Sheridan hosts help first-timers?
First time renting an RV? You will be in great hands in Sheridan. Every RVezy host provides an in-person walkthrough at pickup, showing you the basics: how to hook up water and power, dump tanks, run the generator, deploy the awning, and operate the propane stove and furnace. Many Sheridan hosts also send a video orientation ahead of time so you arrive prepared. RVezy's 24/7 support and included roadside assistance back you up if anything feels off-script on the road. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C motorhome or travel trailer and book a campground 20 minutes away (like the KOA on Decker Road) for night one, so you can practice setup before tackling the Bighorn Scenic Byway the next morning.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown or mechanical problem during my Sheridan RV trip?
You are never alone out there. Every RVezy booking in Sheridan includes 24/7 roadside assistance covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing, whether you are parked on Main Street or stuck on US-14A coming down from Burgess Junction. One phone call connects you with a dispatcher who arranges help. Your host is also a quick text away for RV-specific questions like resetting the inverter or relighting the water heater. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV at pickup and save your host's number plus RVezy support to your phone before leaving Sheridan, cell service thins out in the Bighorns.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Sheridan RV rental to Yellowstone, Montana, or across state lines?
Yes, that is the magic of an RV road trip from Sheridan. Most RVezy hosts allow travel throughout the Lower 48, so you can roll west on I-90 to Bozeman (about 280 miles), south and west to Yellowstone's North Entrance at Gardiner (around 320 miles), east to the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore (roughly 280 miles), or south to Grand Teton National Park (about 350 miles). Cross-border travel into Canada is sometimes allowed with host approval and added insurance steps. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: message the host before booking with your route so they can confirm mileage allowances and any state-specific notes. Wyoming's I-90 corridor through Sheridan makes multi-park loops surprisingly easy.
nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Sheridan RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier expenses to plan. Wyoming gas prices typically run slightly below the national average, and Sheridan has several fuel stops right off I-90 exits 20, 23, and 25 including Loaf 'N Jug and Maverik with diesel pumps sized for big rigs. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 12 to 18 MPG when towing a travel trailer, and 18 to 22 MPG for a campervan. A round-trip from Sheridan to Yellowstone's Northeast Entrance via the Beartooth Highway (about 500 miles total) lands around $150 to $250 in fuel for most motorhomes. Pro tip: top up in Sheridan before heading into the Bighorns, mountain-town gas costs noticeably more.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I reserve a campsite near Sheridan?
Earlier is better, but you have options. For Bighorn National Forest campgrounds like Tie Flume, Sibley Lake, Dead Swede, and Prune Creek, reservations open six months ahead on Recreation.gov and July and August weekends often fill within days of release. Private RV parks in Sheridan like the KOA, Peter D's, The Station, and Dalton's Jackalope typically book two to three months out for peak summer, sooner for WYO Rodeo week (mid-July) and Don King Days (Labor Day weekend). Many Bighorn forest sites also keep a portion first-come, first-served, so weekday arrivals can snag walk-ins. Pro tip: build flexibility into your route, if a forest campground is full, Connor Battlefield State Historic Site in Ranchester rarely is.
recreation.gov/What are local driving conditions like around Sheridan?
Sheridan is one of the friendlier RV-driving towns in the Rockies. I-90 cuts right through with wide lanes, gentle grades, and easy big-rig exits. Around town, Main Street, Coffeen Avenue, and Fifth Street all handle RVs without drama. The real adventure starts west of town: US-14 over Granite Pass climbs to 9,033 feet and US-14A over Burgess Junction tops out at 9,430 feet with steep 10% grades, switchbacks, and a strong recommendation against towing long trailers on 14A. The Bighorn Scenic Byway (US-14) is the gentler choice. Watch for wind gusts on I-90 east toward Gillette and deer at dawn and dusk. Pro tip: check Wyoming 511 (wyoroad.info) for real-time road conditions before crossing the Bighorns, especially May, September, and October when snow can surprise you.
wyoroad.info/What hookups and amenities do Sheridan campgrounds offer?
You'll find excellent infrastructure. Most private RV parks in Sheridan, including the KOA on Decker Road, Peter D's, The Station, and Dalton's Jackalope, offer full hookups (50/30/20-amp electric, water, and sewer), free WiFi, hot showers, laundry, and dump stations. Bighorn National Forest campgrounds are more rustic with vault toilets, potable water spigots, and no hookups, perfect for boondocking with a generator or solar. Public dump stations are available at the KOA and Peter D's for a small fee even if you're not staying. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank in Sheridan before heading up into the Bighorns, and dump on your way back down. Cell service is solid in town but spotty above 7,500 feet, so download offline maps before you climb.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/bighorn/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=30518&actid=29What's included inside a typical motorhome rental Sheridan hosts list?
More than you might expect. A typical motorhome rental Sheridan offers comes ready to camp: a full kitchen with fridge, freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, and cookware; a bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower; comfortable sleeping for four to eight depending on the floor plan; air conditioning, propane furnace, and often a TV. Most Sheridan listings also include bedding, towels, camp chairs, an outdoor table, and a freshwater hose. Campervans are more minimal but include a bed, cooler or fridge, and basic cooking gear. Generators are standard on Class A and Class C motorhomes for off-grid power in the Bighorns. Pro tip: check the listing's seatbelt count if you're traveling with kids, Wyoming law requires every passenger to be belted while the RV is moving.
dot.state.wy.us/home/dl_enforcement/safety_programs/safety-belt-information.htmlWhat add-ons and pickup options should I expect for a campervan rental Sheridan hosts offer?
You can customize easily. Common add-ons on a campervan rental Sheridan listing include bike racks, kayak or paddleboard mounts, generators, extra propane, fire pits, and pet packages, typically $10 to $50 each. Hosts set their own mileage policies (often 100 to 150 free miles per night) and pickup windows, with most pickups happening between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the host's home, a Sheridan park-and-ride near I-90 exit 20, or via delivery. Generator hours, dumping, and propane refills may be included or charged separately, the listing spells it out clearly. Pro tip: ask the host to add a Starlink or hotspot if you're working remotely, cell coverage drops fast once you leave I-90 for the Bighorns.
sheridanwyoming.org/How does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Sheridan?
It is straightforward and secure. When you rent an RV in Sheridan, WY through RVezy, you pay the full booking total through the platform (never directly to the host), so your money is protected until your trip is confirmed. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment, typically a few days before pickup, and is released after drop-off assuming no damage or extra cleaning is needed. Major credit and debit cards are accepted. Pro tip: do a full walkaround video with the host at both pickup and drop-off in their Sheridan driveway, timestamped photos of the tires, exterior, and interior are the easiest way to ensure your deposit comes back fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Sheridan during winter, and is cold-weather camping doable?
Yes, winter RVing in Sheridan is a real adventure for the prepared. Some RVezy hosts keep four-season rigs available year-round, with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, electric tank pad heaters, and high-output propane furnaces that handle Sheridan's January lows around 10°F. Most winter campers plug into 30/50-amp shore power at The Station RV Park or Peter D's (both stay open into winter shoulder seasons), so the furnace doesn't drain propane overnight. Bighorn National Forest campgrounds close from roughly mid-October through May. Pro tip: filter listings for four-season or winterized RVs, ask about insulated water hose and tank heater operation during the walkthrough, and watch for snow on I-90, Wyoming wind can turn a flurry into a ground blizzard fast.
