About
Sheridan Campground is located approximately 5 miles south of Red Lodge, Montana, on the banks of the Main Fork of Rock Creek. Accessed via East Side Road off the Beartooth Highway (US 212), this small Forest Service campground sits in the shadow of the Beartooth Range surrounded by aspen and pine forest. Wildlife including grizzly bear, deer, and elk inhabit the surrounding area. The campground offers 9 sites, a mix of reservable and first-come-first-served. Amenities include vault toilets, potable drinking water from a hand pump, bear-resistant food storage lockers, and firewood for purchase. Each site has a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. One site meets full ADA accessibility standards. Maximum trailer length is 30 feet, with sites 5-8 having tight turnarounds unsuitable for larger rigs. Recreation opportunities abound: rainbow trout fishing in Rock Creek, canoeing and kayaking at Greenough Lake 8 miles away, and hiking via nearby Hellroaring, Lake Fork, Beartrack, and Corral Creek trailheads into the Beartooth Wilderness. The Parkside National Recreation Trail offers mountain biking and hiking. Yellowstone National Park's northeast entrance is 60 miles away via the Beartooth Highway.
Directions
From Red Lodge, drive south on US Highway 212 for approximately 4 miles. Turn left onto East Side Road. Continue 0.5 to 1.7 miles to the campground entrance on your right. Note: the south bridge is currently out; use the north entrance via East Side Road.
