Shell Creek Campground

How does a secluded alpine getaway sound, where the tranquil sound of a mountain stream lulls you to sleep beneath towering fir and aspen trees? Shell Creek Campground, perched at 7,500 feet in the heart of Bighorn National Forest, offers a peaceful retreat that combines natural beauty, cool mountain air, and access to unforgettable outdoor adventures.

Set along the pristine Shell Creek, this campground features 15 well-equipped sites that provide picnic tables, campfire rings, and vault toilets, with potable water conveniently available. While there are no electrical hookups or showers, the campground's simplicity enhances its charm. The area is ideal for nature lovers, with abundant wildlife, excellent trout fly-fishing spots, and scenic hiking trails, including nearby access to the Adelaide Trailhead leading into the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Additionally, Shell Falls, a stunning natural spectacle with interpretive trails, is just a short five-mile drive away.

Located 32 miles east of Greybull and a brief detour off U.S. Highway 14 (the Bighorn Scenic Byway), Shell Creek Campground serves as a gateway to both relaxation and exploration. Whether you're here for a weekend or an extended stay, this tranquil spot allows you to unplug and immerse yourself in Wyoming’s breathtaking high-country beauty.
