Campground Overview

About Horseshoe Bend Campground

Rugged red sandstone cliffs frame the expansive Bighorn Lake at Horseshoe Bend Campground, offering a striking backdrop for campers seeking solitude and scenic beauty in Wyoming's high desert landscape.

This campground provides a mix of modern amenities and natural immersion. RV sites with electrical hookups coexist alongside more primitive tent spots, all offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding canyon country. Clean restrooms, potable water, and a dump station ensure comfort, while the lack of shade and exposure to Wyoming's elements maintains a sense of wilderness camping.

Situated 14 miles north of Lovell, Horseshoe Bend serves as an ideal base for exploring Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The adjacent marina facilitates easy lake access for boating and fishing enthusiasts, while hikers can venture onto nearby trails winding through sagebrush-dotted hills. For those interested in geology, the exposed rock layers of Sykes Mountain provide a natural museum of Earth's history just beyond the campground boundaries.

Horseshoe Bend Campground caters to various trip types, from weekend getaways to extended vacations. Its location strikes a balance between accessibility and remoteness, allowing visitors to disconnect from urban life while still having basic needs met. The campground's integration with the surrounding landscape fosters a genuine connection to the rugged beauty of Wyoming's backcountry.
