Quick Overview
Sheridan has several RV dump stations in the area, with some offering free access to travelers in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains in north-central Wyoming. This Sheridan County seat of about 18,000 is one of the most attractive small cities in the state, sitting where the high plains meet the eastern slopes of the Bighorns along I-90. RV dump station access and sani-dump facilities in Sheridan serve both I-90 corridor travelers and the substantial number of RVers who come to explore the Bighorn Mountains, Little Bighorn Battlefield, and the historic ranching culture that defines this corner of Wyoming. The town's historic Main Street is one of the best-preserved downtown districts in the West, with western wear shops, art galleries, restaurants, and the legendary Mint Bar whose collection of mounted wildlife is a must-see stop. The sanitary dump station options near Sheridan provide reliable tank maintenance for travelers heading into areas where services become scarce -- the Bighorn Mountains to the west have very limited facilities along the scenic highway crossings. The Sheridan WYO Rodeo each July is one of the premier rodeo events in the country, and the overall western heritage of Sheridan feels genuine and deeply rooted in the ranching and livestock traditions that built the community. The Bighorn National Forest west of town offers mountain recreation including hiking, fishing, camping, and scenic driving that rivals any mountain destination in Wyoming. The proximity to the Montana border means that many RVers combine Sheridan with visits to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument and the Crow Reservation, making the town's dump stations important for travelers exploring both sides of the state line along this historic stretch of the I-90 corridor through the northern Great Plains.

Sheridan sits on I-90 at exits 20, 23, and 25, about 130 miles south of Billings, Montana and 145 miles north of Buffalo. Highway 14 heads west from Sheridan over the Bighorn Mountains via the scenic Bighorn Scenic Byway to Lovell and the Bighorn Basin. This mountain crossing involves steep grades and tight switchbacks that require careful driving with larger RVs. The I-90 commercial area has fuel stations, a Walmart, Albertsons grocery, and major fast food chains. Downtown Sheridan is accessible but parking larger rigs on Main Street can be tight -- use your tow vehicle for downtown exploring. Cell coverage is excellent along I-90 and in Sheridan but drops off significantly in the Bighorn Mountains and on the reservation to the south.

Explore the Sheridan Area
The Mint Bar on Main Street is a Wyoming institution -- the mounted animal collection and authentic western atmosphere make it worth a stop even if you don't drink. Dump your tanks in Sheridan before heading west over the Bighorns as dump station options are extremely limited in the Bighorn Basin until you reach Cody or Lovell. The Bighorn Scenic Byway on Highway 14 over the Bighorns is one of the most spectacular mountain drives in Wyoming but the steep grades and tight curves demand respect with larger rigs. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is about 70 miles north in Montana on I-90 and makes an excellent day trip. King's Saddlery on Main Street has a small western museum and sells world-famous King Ropes. The Sheridan Inn, where Buffalo Bill once auditioned acts for his Wild West Show, has been beautifully restored and is worth a visit.
