Ask about this camp →Bureau of Land Management lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Grave Springs at 8,560 ft, less than a mile away. It sits about 271 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.

How it was placed
FREE BLM campground on the South Bighorn/Red Wall Back Country Byway, about 2.6 km north of Buffalo Creek Campground. FEE, BLM's own Fees section: "No Fee." The description repeats it: "There are no fees associate with this campground; nor is water available at this campground. Campsites are first come, first served." [sic] SITES: "twelve camping sites with RV parking and tent pads, two camping sites for tents only with parking and tent pads, vault toilet, tables and fire rings. The site is ADA accessible." That is 14 sites -- the biggest free BLM campground on this byway. ACCESS: "From Arminto, take the South Bighorn/Red Wall Back Country Byway north for 13.5 miles ot Bighorn Mountain road. Turn left and go 12 miles north to the campground on the left." [sic] BLM's standard stay limit on Wyoming public land is 14 days; where BLM states it on the site's own page it is quoted below. BLM does not print a stay limit on this page. Coordinate is BLM's own published facility point from gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services/recreation/BLM_Natl_Recreation_Sites_Facilities (read 2026-08-17), cross-checked against the Geographic Coordinates printed on the site's own blm.gov page. It is a facility pin, not a surveyed campsite. SOURCE: https://www.blm.gov/visit/search-details/274353/1
--- NIGHT-SHIFT REVIEW 2026-08-19 (nightshift-verified) -- APPROVED.
Re-fetched https://www.blm.gov/visit/search-details/274353/1 this fire. The page is live and still titled "Grave Springs Campground | Wyoming". The Fees section still reads "No Fee." and the description still says "twelve camping sites with RV parking and tent pads, two camping sites for tents only with parking and tent pads, vault toilet, tables and fire rings... There are no fees associate with this campground; nor is water available at this campground." [sic] BLM's printed Geographic Coordinates are still 43.461523, -107.227947, matching this row to the digit. Cross-checked the same day against gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services/recreation/BLM_Natl_Recreation_Sites_Facilities (layer 8, BLM Natl RIDB Facilities Camping). Nothing this row claims has changed since it was written.

- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
