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.

One of the best campgrounds we've stayed at. Amazing views! Be prepared for a steep climb to get there however.

Site 4 is a nice site, however there is a great deal of road noise from the forest service road directly behind it. Also quite a few mooing cows throughout the night

Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. People should know that site #9 is right on top of Site #8. Very little privacy between these two. But otherwise, nice!
