Summary
Owen Creek campground offers a peaceful and scenic experience, with fewer ATVs this year and visits from wildlife like moose and bears. The host is praised for maintaining clean facilities, and the campground's small size adds to its charm. Some challenges were noted regarding campsite reservations and nearby dogs, but overall, visitors enjoyed their stay and appreciated the beautiful surroundings.

Loved Owens Creek. Hate Recreation.gov. Very hard to tell for almost any campground, which sites are FF and which are reservable. Some are reservable during the week but not weekends. We reserved one for Thursday night expecting to do FF for the weekend. Arrived at campground to find out there were only 6 sites FF and most were taken up by maintenance people. So frustrating.

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.

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.

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