Surprisingly beautiful! I couldn’t imagine there were places in WY this beautiful. All campsites are along the stream. It was cold for June however waking up to a dusting of snow brought the wildlife through camp. We had deer and moose come through to the stream. Make sure to stop at Shell Creek Falls before going to camp. It is stunning!

Dale and Loretta were great.Dale going above what you would expect a camp host would do. The bathrooms were kept cleaned every day plus they had air freshener and sanitizer in them. I had several chats with Dale he even came by and let me know they had to leave due to a dr.appointment and wanted to say bye to use knowing we were leaving the next morning and hoping to see use again. Thanks to them plus the cleanliness of the campgrounds we hope to return in the future and to see them again.
