I stayed four nights at this campground. I loved being so close to the creek and being able to sit next to it. The campground was quiet and peaceful and very well maintained. Super clean bathrooms!

Great campground and site (site 12). Peaceful, quiet, friendly neighbors. We were right on the creek, which is just beautiful and provided peaceful background noise. The site was spacious and flat. The water from the spigots is cool and delicious. Bugs were not bad in late July. The road to the CG is steep and dirt, so four wheel drive was handy. We had a bit of a holdup while waiting for cattle to cross the road.

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.
