Good Campground and location. Water and electricity hook ups. You're just a quick drive away from fishing shops and put in for the Big Horn River. Only problem we had is the water shut off leaked very bad. Had to turn it off when we didn't need it. Otherwise it's a nice spot with beautiful views.

We love it here. The only thing I would say is when it's about 11 pm and after quiet time the guides and tourists fishermen show up very loud for a hour or two. Then they take off again around 4AM again very loudly making coffee and joking. I wondered if it was to avoid the pretty high fees to camp, that they came so late and left so early? I'm not sure but very rude, we left this last time packed up and ready to go by 6AM because I was so frustrated with the little sleep. Not the camp grounds fault but frustrating when you pay 60 dollars for 2 nights.

Beautiful spot to camp! We have an rv, and they offer electric hookups here. There are bathrooms as well if you need that. No showers, just toilets. They have a large dumpster, so you can throw your trash away, and they also have metal locked boxes to store your food so bears don't rummage through your area. It's very quiet here and you can definitely relax and enjoy the area. The flowers are so beautiful and the birds are too. We fished but didn't catch anything. We were told the lake hadn't been restocked yet, so there wasn't much to fish. Beautiful spot to stay at. Not far from other spots that people like to fish and explore as well. As of this year, they are charging people to stay there as well. I guess it was free for a long time, but not anymore.
