Shell Creek Campground

Nice quiet campground. Fishing was plentiful. Moose sightings too.

Great spot to escape into the Big Horns and enjoy up to 14 continuous days of camping. Most of the camping sites are next to the Creek, are spacious and easily accommodate a large RV or large tent. There are also a few tent only sites. The hosts keep the camp and it facilities very clean, are happy to help you if you need any assistance, and are fun to visit with when they aren't taking care of the campground. The Creek was well above it's normal flow levels when we visited, however, we were still able to find a few fishing holes where the brook trout were eager to entertain and give us and give us a nice addition to our campfire menu.

One of my favorite campgrounds. This place is very remote, quiet, peaceful, and absolutly beautiful. The campground is right along a pretty tree line with Shell Creek running nearby. The creek is perfect for cooling off. Stargazing here is stunning. Sites are pretty well spaced out, and the campgroundis not very big. The host has self-service firewood avaliable. Site 007 and 008 are perfect for tents. We had site 006, which was nice as well, but lacked shade. Wasn't a problem for us, as we were out exploring most of the day. Would definitely camp here again.

Third year in a row we visited shell creek campground over memorial day weekend. We stayed at site #13. People would pay more than $20 a day for the views and sounds from #13. We saw moose, elk and deer. Shell creek was running hard so no fishing. We experienced all 4 seasons. Hosts Dale and Loretta do a great job maintaining facilities. They were also very kind giving us 10 gallons of their water supply because usfs had not turned on any water in the area. Well behaved dogs are welcomed here. Keep them on leash in the campground. Belle the blue tick loves camping at shell creek.

A beautiful site worth every bit of it. We literally pitched tent along the river woke up to elk calls and wonderful weather.
