Overnight parking and camping not permitted at rest areas.

Big Horn National Forest::

Hundreds of 5th wheels unoccupied during week. Seem to be left from weekend to weekend.
Camping limit 14 days which seems to be enforced.
Most water is from long handled pumps. It's kinda difficult to hold a 7 gallon water jug in one hand and a long handled pump in the other and pump water. I carry an extra bucket for clean water, pump the water into the bucket and then empty the bucket into the jug.
