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.

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.

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.

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.
