It was beautiful and really enjoyed sitting by the creek. It would get very windy. The dirt flying around was blinding. Bathrooms were clean.
I was a little concerned that even though we had reservations, our site said open. Luckily we didn't have to run anybody out. But when we were getting ready to leave, a car driving by wanted our site. I hope no one had it reserved.

Camp hosts were nice and accommodating. We loved our time there fishing and enjoying the little bit of disconnect from the world. We will be back again!

Our family has been camping, fishing, hiking, and viewing wildlife for well over thirty years. We have a favorite site and appreciate the hosts’ work to make us comfortable. Spectacular beauty and peace in the Big Horns!

Very happy with the campground and very friendly/helpful hosts. Campground was clean and beautiful. Website description was perfectly accurate.
I was however disappointed that so many trails were closed as we drove 1000 miles to Wyoming with the sole purpose of ATVing in the Bighorn Mountains.
Not sure how we could have found out ahead of time that the trails were closed.

This is the sixth year in a row that we have camped the third week of June at Shell Creek. The fishing is good, the wildflowers are magnificent, and the scenery is breathtaking. The campground is small and quiet, because it's away from the highway. We plan to go back next June.

Absolutely gorgeous area. Site was clean and close to the water. Bathrooms clean.
No firewood for purchase that I could see and none laying around but with the weather beautiful I didn’t care to build a fire anyway. Love Wyoming
