We just love camping at Sheridan campground. It is a beautiful site within walking distance to the river. The camp host Wally is the best camp host we have had in all the years camping.

Site 1. Level site that accommodated large tent, peaceful sound of Rock River behind the site. The toilet facility was very clean and the camp host was helpful.

Our experience was excellent! It was all because of the attentive and kind communication of our campground host. Wally is the best host we have met in the three years we have been staying in Recreation.gov facilities. Wally's attention to facility cleanliness and periodic visits to ensure our enjoyable experience is certainly appreciated. Five stars.

Very nice campground with metal bear boxes and on the opposite side of Rock Creek from Hwy 212 out of Red Lodge, thereby insulating campers from traffic noise.

Camp host/ranger was pleasant and accommodating. Our site was right on he water, shaded and quite large. All in all we would book again.

A storm has ruined most of the campsites and made turn around impossible for anything but small car.
We didn't stay at this place because of it.
(Forest fire nearby caused disruptions to area as well.)
Overall our experience in the area couldn't have been worse. This site followed a campsite at Cascade that was unusable as well.
The only redeeming factors on our trip were the hosts at Basin Campground and Cascade whom went above and beyond to move us around to campsites with canceled reservations.
The saddest part was it was our last trip before my wife becomes too ill to travel.
I built the trailer for our "second honeymoon" and every site that I had reserved 6 months ahead of time was not usable.
The USFS is as slow to react as you would expect from a gov't agency that already has your money. My opinion of the local Forest Rangers is not very high tight now.
I will never use the reservation system in the park service again. You could do better on the side of the road.
They have ruined camping with their incompetence.

Decent campground with minimal amenities. Clean and well-stocked Pit toilets and water pump. Good flat sites, and bear-proof boxes at each site. No good way to clean the dishes, no trash containers.
