Owen Creek campground was much quieter than it was in the past. Fewer ATVs this year. Had moose and a bear visit our camp site. Great time. We had Starlink with internet and wi-fi calling.

Easy to park my 16' camper, convenient to road but maybe a little too close to it.

When we arrived, a large group was in our spot and an adjacent one. We were told we could go to a site directly next to them, but immediately declined. It was a huge group of people with RVs, tents motorcycles, ATVs, etc. it would have absolutely not been a peaceful camping experience. We left and found a spot elsewhere.

We love this campground however this year was a little different. There were dogs not on leases so they were in our camp site and I didn't like this at all. We had our grandkids with us and they are scared of dogs. The host had a dog also that barked all the time. Just something you don't want to hear all the time when in the big horns beautiful county.
