Tie Flume is a family favorite and it didn't disappoint this summer. The simplicity of the available activities is what draws us to the tie flume, the river, the hiking opportunities, the wild life. It's a great get away.

This is a very nice spot to camp. A good walk to the creek but worth every step! Good fishing. The advisers are amazing and respectful. Bathroom is a little walk and always clean.

Tie Flume 16 is an amazing space with a giant open area of grass with plenty of space for tents. We had a bull moose that came over at a safe distance and relaxed for a while at the site. The creek is a very short walking distance with great fishing. At this sight I was able to pull in easily with a camper and even leave my truck in front of the camper instead of parking on the side. The bathroom is always clean and even has a night light for you. We had such a wonderful stay that every year we come up to this spot. The advisers were amazing, and they always have wood to buy so you didn't have to travel far. Tie Flume also has a water pump not far from the site. The beauty by itself is enough. We let people come in the campsite to take pictures of the moose since that is his favorite place to be, just be courteous to the other campers wanting pictures! Absolutely love this spot!!

The campground water was not activated in June while camping here without water was challenging to say the least. $28+ for no water campground is not worth it. Maybe the forest service should review their jobs with their salary worthness

As a first timer to the Big Horns, this was a great camping experience. We arrived to snow/rain at 11:30pm and were able to find our campsite quickly as it is labeled clearly and organized well. Bathrooms were close and well maintained. The site had a couple level spots for a tent. loved having the grill spots and table. There was a nice post over the table with a hook to hang a lantern. We visited late June for a weekend and saw a dozen moose near Burgess Junction and a few on Copper Creek Rd. Also, no mosquitos on our visit. Sibley Lake and Black Mountain Lookout were a ton of fun for us. Can't wait to come back.
