About
Sibley Lake Campground is located at Sibley Lake along U.S. Highway 14 near Burgess Junction at an elevation of 7,900 feet in the Bighorn Mountains. The campground is the only one in Bighorn National Forest offering electrical hookups, with 14 of its 24 sites featuring electric service. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection are provided, and firewood is available for purchase from the campground host. Sibley Lake is open to non-motorized watercraft and electric motors only, with an accessible fishing dock on the shoreline. The lake holds rainbow, brown, and brook trout. The surrounding area offers off-road vehicle trails, scenic jeep roads, and hiking trails ranging from loop routes to treks into the Cloud Peak Wilderness. The forest of lodgepole pine creates excellent wildlife habitat where craggy granite peaks rise over 13,000 feet. The campground is operated by Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds under a concessionaire agreement with the Forest Service. Reservations can be made through Recreation.gov, and sites accommodate up to 8 people with a maximum of two vehicles per site.
