The review from September 2007 is WRONG. I've just confirmed the information on www.OvernightRVParking.com, which states that RVs may stay here for one night. The sign described in the Sept 2007 review is there, but my email from the Mayor's Office confirms that this is merely to encourage RVers to patronize local RV parks. Overnighting at this park (Washington Park, on Coffeen Street) is allowed. NOTE: Had to enter $1 as the rate, because website won't allow a zero. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This city park no longer allows overnight parking - very large sign posted at entrance which tells you to stay at one of the many privately owned campgrounds in town and that staying overnight is no longer allowed. The dump station & fresh water fill are still available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a free park sponsored by the city. No site layout. Has a dump station. A good place to spend the
night and if necessary shop in town. We camped here in a camper.
This is a great little park. These are the cleanest restrooms you will find! The laundry is just as immaculate. Good areas for walking pets. We would definitely return to this park.
We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great spot for an overnight or a few days to visit the area. Great pull throughs with all hook-ups grouped together. Quiet with little hwy or train noise. The Town Trolley will come into the campround and take you to town to shop or sightsee. We will definitely stay here again. The owner stopped by to see if everything was OK when we got set up and made a second visit in the morning when we were getting ready to leave to thank us for staying with them. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is just off I-90, however, you don't hear any traffic noise. Mainly because it is drowned out by the blaring train whistles from a nearby rail yard. But having said that, the park itself is okay for an overnight. Water pressure is great, quality is somewhat lacking. I find this true at most parks in the west so maybe it is just me. Laundry is somewhat pricey, but spotless as are the bathrooms. No shade trees. Gravel sites fairly level. Might stay here again if we had earplugs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The place is no frills, but has been kept up nicely. The sites are gravel and mostly level. Restrooms and showers were clean and the water pressure for the showers was great. We could hear highway noise, but it didn't keep me up. They charge an extra $2 for anyone over 2 years old, which seems a bit ridiculous considering there is nothing to do at the park. It is not bad for a 1 night stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park, small but well maintained. It was filled up, good thing we called ahead. Friendly staff. Easy to walk into the north part of town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are narrow, but have grass at every site. Hookups are well located, everything is updated and very clean. Friendly staff. Expensive but clean and modern laundry. We will stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Close to downtown. Long pull-through sites though very narrow. Next site’s hook-ups will be close to your front door. Another Park that promises Wi-Fi that did not work. The signal was not consistent even after moving to a different site with direct line of sight to office. Our first site received no signal. Good Sam’s needs to add Wi-Fi as a rating category, don’t you think? Oh, and the main circuit breakers blew when temps got in 80’s. Would try another park next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All sites pull through, although some sites are a bit narrow...There is grass between sites. No shade.. All sites are level with full hookups. Peter and Barbara are very helpful and keep a clean park. Park was full all 4 nights we were there. Wi-Fi was weak and we could not connect, so we used our Verizon aircard. Rate is Good Sam rate. Easy off on exit 23 of Interstate 90. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is basically a field next to the interstate in the bright hot sun with no trees. The sites are all gravel and there is a lot of dust around. Wi-Fi did not work as promised as it constantly lost range in the back of the campground. We made a reservation for late arrival guaranteed by credit card. We awoke in the early morning with someone beating on our door like the rig was on fire. It was the owner wanting us to come in to the office to pay...even though I personally gave them my credit card information the night before. So I went down to the office and then they start adding on for kids, etc...even though they have no amenities for the kids to enjoy. The management was rude (owner and his wife) and acted like we were trying to rip them off by not being down in the office by 8 AM. Then on our day of departure an hour before check out time, the owner is beating on our door again reminding us that we have to be out by 11 AM. Honestly, you would be better off staying at the Walmart if your looking for a place to just stay overnight. If your looking for a place to "camp" - then this definitely is not the place. I would seek other alternatives based on our experience. We have been on the road for a year, and this by far is the worst campground experience we have encountered and a very rude old man running the place with little respect for privacy or for families. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a perfect place to spend one night on your way across I-90! Peter not only takes great pride in his park but maintains it well and is very friendly and helpful! We stayed there on the 4th of July and it was very quiet. We woke up to a Sunday newspaper tucked on our step. Great stop! Not much for kids though so but a great stopping point. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Perfect location for a visit to Sheridan. Easy access from I-90. Well laid out park, very well maintained by friendly owners. Wifi works very well. Don't miss dinner at the Wyoming Rib and Chop House, or a jar of Mrs.Peter D's crab apple jelly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a quiet park near downtown Sheridan with easy access to the freeway. The people running the park are very nice and take pride in their park. There is an excellent dog walking area at one end of the park. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owner could not do enough for us, very friendly and spent considerable time with us going over tourist attractions and restaurants. What the owner claims about his washrooms is true: very clean. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice, quiet campground close to town. Owner friendly and provides information on things to see. Rest rooms and laundry very clean. I paid the cash discount rate. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for an overnight or longer. Convenient to Interstate and downtown area. Also a downtown shuttle ran throughout the park a number of times each night while we were there. Restrooms were spotless. Peter is a workhorse who seems to really enjoy running his park. No shade, so it may get hot in Summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Owner was very friendly at the check in. He was helpful when we asked where to eat and what to see in the area. I used the laundry room and have to say it was as clean as my own. I am very particular. I had a good wi-fi signal. It was a nice surprise to find a good park in Sheridan. (888) 673-0597 We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners describes his place as designed for Boomers--no pools/play grounds etc. Peter (the owner) is very engaged in making sure his customers are happy and keeps a spotless restroom. Was in the men's room picking up before 9am--changing out a shower curtain one visitor mentioned was showing some mildew. Gave great lead for dinner at a Rib and Chop house in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Super friendly staff, and very informative with Sheridan. Peter took quite a bit of time showing me on the city map where to drive, what to do and where to eat. Great shopping street in this historic town. CG sites were too crowded for our big rig. We opted for the 2nd choice site since our neighbor would have had to pull his awning in so we could put out our slide. We noticed that they had to do this later for another RV. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access, gravel roads & sites, p-ts apx 65 ft, most sites are fairly close side to side but not too tight for slides, awnings, etc. Some grass needs cutting. WIFI was great during daytime, rather weak after dark when sites between us and the office antenna were filled. Rates are a bit high for overnight stay when full hookups are not needed, but there aren't many choices in the area and most parks are closed up to 1/2 of the year due to winter weather. The owner, Peter, is an absolutely superb host who is genuinely interested in doing all he can to ensure you have a good visit. We stayed two nights, and would stay again just because of Peter's great hospitality!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not much shade but if you want clean and quite this is the place. Pete makes sure all your needs are taken care of from wanting to see wildlife to getting a part for you Motorhome. We stayed here a week and will be back Pete is the best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a small, parking lot campground with absolutely no shade. The sites are close, close together, but the campground is kept up well and very clean. The owner, Peter D, is worth the stop. He is a most likable man wanting to please his guest, and he does. We stayed only one night and was sorry we couldn't stay longer just to talk with Peter! We want him in our family! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great for just an overnight. Sites are very close together. Meeting Peter D alone is worth the stay! Restrooms and showers are very clean. On Peter D’s advice we ate at the Rib and Chop House. The food was extremely good and a ton of it. Biggest baked potato I have ever seen! Here’s a tip, we got a menu from Peter D and phoned in the order. We then picked it up and brought it back to the campground. The restaurant is almost always crowded with most people having to wait 45 minutes or more for a seat. We had our food and eating it back at camp before most people were even getting seated. No problem with Verizon Card for internet. We would go back again because of Peter D and the Rib and Chop House food. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites very close together - neighbors sewer was in our patio which was ok as the patio isn't large enough to put out chairs, very small grass area. No trees, all pull thrus, nothing to block satellite TV. Wifi was intermittent at our site but Verizon air card worked great. Full hookups w/cable. Clean laundry room but cost 2.00 for wash & 2.00 for drier - highest price we have seen. Camping area is in a small depression just below hwy 90 but is surprising quiet. Not sure I would want to stay here in the 'high' season - every other site was occupied while we were here and it still felt crowded. It is the best deal in town, however and Peter is great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great overnight spot when traveling through this part of the country. I don't know that I would consider it a destination, but the park itself is perfect when you're just passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If it were not for Peter's personality this would be a 4 or 5. The restroom/showers are clean but early Boy Scout. Spaces are Very Close, nothing like having a sewer hose in your door. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is satisfactory for a short stay to visit the charming town of Sheridan and the surrounding area, which was lovely. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The park has the basics - adequately sized spaces, full hookups, cable TV, free WiFi that worked well and modern laundry equipment. We did not check out the restrooms. Because there are no recreational facilities, few guests seemed to be families and it was, therefore, quiet. Although it's next to the freeway, it is much lower than the highway and the sound did not travel to the park to any bothersome degree. However, note that there is a nearby railroad switching yard and, at times, the horns were very loud, including during the night. If you are a light sleeper, you may need earplugs. Pete may suggest you dine at the Rib & Chop House nearby but be sure and make reservations. We did. But people arriving without reservations were told the wait was 45 min. to one hour on a weeknight. The food was good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We'll echo all that's been said. Pete is a great host and this is a great a park. If you are looking for a resort, you will be disappointed. However, the water pressure is good, the electric is stable, it has level sites, all pull-thrus, and easy access. We only spent the night, but next time we'll stay several more days to check out the area. We camped here in a 45' motor home with toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We'll echo all that's been said. Pete is a most engaging host, and the rib house in town is first class (but make reservations!). It's a park, not a resort. Good water pressure, stable electric, level sites, all pull-thrus, easy access. We over nighted, but next time we'll stay a couple more days to check out the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great stop over park. As previously mentioned, Peter D is a great host and will assist in any way possible to make your stay a great one. Showers and laundry were the cleanest we have ever seen. Only negative I would comment on is the sites are very close together. Washers and driers are a bit pricey. ($2.00) We camped here in a Motorhome.
Peter D is a great guy! His suggestion for a restaurant to have dinner was excellent. The wifi worked well which was nice. If our vacation plans had allowed we would have stayed on another day. Easy on/off the interstate. Will stay again if we are ever in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is really pretty nice even though it is dusty or muddy, depending on the weather. The wifi was rather slow. There is very little noise even though it is close to I-90. You may hear a few train horns too. The owners have a great attitude and will spend time telling you about the town. Be sure to check their web site, and take Pete a Care package if you like. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Peter is what makes the park - he is the "BEST", giving travel tips, maps and information guides. Nice clean park, clean restrooms & showers. Convenient to the interstate (I-90), downtown and the Sheridan Inn for dining. We had planned to stay for just 2 nights but will stay a few extra days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean park with spotless restrooms and showers. Peter is very friendly and helpful. Park is close to the freeway but not to noisy. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean restroom and showers. Easy late registration. Reasonable rate. Good Wi-Fi. Didn't meet owner, but his signs were very helpful and conveyed a friendly air. In April the campground wasn't crowded. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This RV park was essentially a parking lot for RV's. The spaces were very small, but the location of the park is convenient for over-nighting. The place was clean and friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff was very nice at check in. Sites were very narrow making you very close to neighbors with slides out. Owners need to spend a little money to make the campground look more inviting. Good overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are extremely close together. Luckily our next door neighbor didn't have slides. This is their only fault. Staff very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is just your average RV park. The office person was very helpful and friendly. The sites are close together. Our sewer pipe was under our neighbor's picnic table. If we would have put out our awning it would have went over the truck parked in the next site. Close together is and understatement. Really strange hookup locations. We have a Travel Trailer and were in a pull-thru. The sewer hookup was at the far end of the site. When I pointed this out to the office help he laughed and said to just dump when we pulled out in the morning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
You can't beat Peter D's for the hospitality !!! If there is anything negative with this campground (which there isn't), Peter makes up for it many times over. We were there in a 34' motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Despite being close to I-90, the park is 50' down, so it's quiet. Park now has free wifi. Owner is friendly & park is in good condition. Very easy in/out and on/off freeway. Rib & Chop house is excellent and very reasonably priced. Not much to th town. Devil's Tower is not a day drive, unless you like driving over 300 mile round trip in a day. Sheridan is a sleepy little western town. I'd stay here again for a night, but there's not enough to do to warrent anything longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to get in and out. Clean. Close to the Interstate for easy access. Owner very nice and gave a lot of local information, like resaurants. Sheridan Inn is an excellent restaurant. Powder Horn is a great golf course about 10 minutes away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park - very friendly owner. Was a nice place to stop for the night - main problem was that we could not sit outside because there were so many bees swarming. We camped here in a Motorhome.
You know, it's a darned shame that the KOA's are in such a state of disrepair. I assume this is because most of them are many, many years old, and are bought and sold over and over, and used as a cash cow and never improved on. This one is no exception. While it was once a really nice place, everything in the park is just plain tired. The showers were about as clean as can be expected given their age, but the shower stalls are very dark (unlit) maybe a blessing ? And please ! KOA ! whats with the mats you all use in your showers ? i have about lost all the skin on my feet because of them, and you all use them, OUCH ! My biggest complaint was while the park was less than half full, and there were spots very close to the showers, the elderly lady that checked us in placed us in a corner of the park, far from the showers, and next to a bunch of fishermen who drank and partied all night, and i had told her i was a disabled vet. and needed to be close to the bathrooms. Seems like KOA owners think they are in charge of where you stay and how you spend your money. i really think this will be our last KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is easily accessible from I-90, and close to services and stores. We were greeted by friendly, knowledgeable workcampers. Around 8pm we noticed an overwhelming sewer smell and when we asked in the office about the smell we were dismissed with a "someone will come and check". No one came, so we asked to move to a different site - away from the Dump station. The park clearly needs some updating (pool, sewer smell) but the sites are level and there is some shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our biggest complaint is that the internet did not work. The people were nice, and the camp site level and decent size for a KOA. The road & train noise was loud. There appears to be some deferred maintenance problems(pool needs repainted, and electric and water at the site was kind of scary) in the campground. We would probably stay elsewhere next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I was surprised to see this campground had reviews above average. I was dismayed when the management wanted to charge me an extra $5 for not having made reservations ahead of time even though they had an opening that would have gone unoccupied. The campground was dusty and the sites trees were very confining in both parking and in ensuring there was ample space to extend the slide outs. They also want a dollar extra for pets. By the time you add everything up they increase their rate by 10%. Thumbs down for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This has become one of our favorite KOA campgrounds. We stayed here going and coming last October, but found it every bit as accomodating in June, even with the increased number of campers. There is no cable, but you can get the major networks very clearly. Space is ample, shade is available, and all the staff we have dealt with nice and competent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff, cute decorations in the park. Everyone wants to help. Near to the new Sheridan Inn for a heck of a meal, ghost(s) included at no charge. Would definitely stay here again. Close to some Indian Wars sites, and Custer's last stand. Great campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First the negatives. There is a lot of freeway noise, train noise, and small airport noise at sunrise. The park is very spacious with plenty of room to navigate and nice size spaces. The miniature golf course is worth the price, especially if you're drinking! I'll stay there again next time through. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Felt like a zoo. Great for kids. Very busy and noisy. Lots of road noise. Chuckwagon dinner & breakfast. Was OK for an overnight stop. Wouldn't spend any time there. Expensive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
