Really enjoyed our stay. Only concern is that the forest service doe not enforce the speed limits in the campground and it can get extremely dusty when people are driving too fast to access the lake. Every campground should have Hosts like Dixon and Mary Beth. They were awesome!

I stayed here for one night on Tuesday, Sep. 8. The campground was in great condition and even though almost every site around us was occupied, it was a quiet stay. The toilets were very clean and I appreciate that there is a light that comes on inside at night so you don't have to rely on your headlamp. The campground host had plenty of firewood and even had a jar next to the pile you could put money into if they were not around. I was in site 5 and it was a great spot to have a bit of privacy but still be close to the lake. My 2-person tent fit perfectly here. but there is not a lot of flat ground. A 4-person tent may have to squeeze to fit the one flat area this site unless you plan to pitch it in the gravel where you park. There is quite a few spots for pitching a hammock too, if that is your thing.

This is a gem of a campground. The bathrooms were clean and everything well maintained. Most sites had some privacy in the electric loop with the non-electric loop being a bit more open but nearer to the water.

We stayed 7 nights and would have loved to stay longer (unfortunately we have to go back to work). While there is a little bit of road noise, it is not bad at all. It would be issue if you really want to just hear nature. Sibley Lake is a great little campground with a dump station nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Simply Lake campground is a beautiful place to camp. Sites are good size and in the woods. It’s a small and quiet campground nestled on the side of a small lake. There is no dump site at the campground, but a few miles to the west there’s a beautiful multi lane dump site. And an added bonus we saw a moose and her calf down at the lake.

Very clean well stick bathrooms, (pit toilet), portable water at many locations. Camp site very clean, we had a power site. Easy access to lake and surrounding hikes. No cell service at camp but a few miles back toward camp you can get some. Or go to the restaurant right where the two highways split. It has wifi. The dump station just before had 5 lanes and portable water as well.

Sibley lake campground was a beautiful place, with some nice separated spots. We were able to swap from our reserved site to a first come/first serve spot that was more isolated with the helpfulness of the campground host. The dock at the lake was a great place to sit and watch things. There is some road noise, but dies down at night. Extremely dark skies. Porcupine falls is a must do hike. Plenty of water, even with the scant snowfall this year.

Sibley Lake is a much loved and beautiful recreation area of the Bighorn Mnts. The campground host, Dixon, was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in campsite 22 and we would not recommend this site for tent camping.

Great campground but you need to fix the first come first served. If that’s what the sites are then they cannot be reserved. We were told by the camp hosts that they can be reserved? So confusing, either they are or aren’t , can’t have it both ways.
