Guide
Sheridan is a public campground with nine sites on the Main Fork of Rock Creek, among aspen and pine below the Beartooth Range. Choose it for a quiet night beside the water, with fishing, nearby trailheads, and the scenic drive close at hand.
The creek supports rainbow trout fishing, and nearby trailheads include Hellroaring, Lake Fork, Beartrack, and Corral Creek. The campground has picnic tables, fire rings with grills, potable water, and accessible vault toilets. Sites 1 and 2 are level but do not fully meet accessibility standards; site 9 does.
