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.

Beautiful, and rushing river with fish close by. We were just disappointed with sharing parking with another vehicle. It was also extremely windy for tent camping. Our tent survived, but it was scary.

The Campground hosts were very helpful and took great care of this CG. The restrooms were clean and well taken care of. This CG is in a beautiful area of the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming, amazing setting!

Camp sight was good. . As always enjoyed sound of creek. My favorite thing about Shell. Enjoyed several trips up the mountain in our atv.
