What Guests Are Saying
Shell Creek Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, featuring clean restrooms and friendly hosts who go above and beyond to assist campers. The picturesque location, nestled among large pine trees and alongside a charming creek, enhances the overall experience. While there were some minor issues such as generator noise and biting flies, the positives greatly outweigh the negatives, making it a highly recommended spot for campers.

Shell Creek is always one of our favorite campgrounds in the Bighorn’s. Sites are large and spaced out to maximize privacy and it is always well maintained.

Beautiful campground with decent sized sites. No shade in the outer ones, but it worked out fine for us while we were there. Very quiet. No cell phone coverage (AT&T and Verizon). Bathrooms were very clean and the hosts were really friendly. No hiking trails from the campground, but there is a creek the dogs were able to play in. We saw a moose and lots of deer.

Beautiful campground. Stayed in site 6 and had a great view of the mountainside along with trees and a large stream behind us. Quiet and dark. The camp host was friendly and happy to answer our questions.
