The campground was a lot closer to the western edge of the Big Horn mountains than it seemed from the maps. The bathrooms had a motion-activated light installed by the host as well as hand sanitizer, which I found very thoughtful and did not encounter again at the four other campgrounds I stayed at on our trip. You absolutely must bring a wide-mouth water container or a funnel since the well ran dry during our mid-August stay. Felt real bad about that since we drained it on our way out.
