Shell Creek is a 14-site campground in Bighorn National Forest. It accommodates car camping, camper vans, fifth wheels, and large tents, with sites for RVs up to 75 ft. It is a no-hookup campground. Waterfront and Riverfront sites are available. Around 14 sites are shaded. Pets are welcome at some sites, most sites have a fire pit, and 10 sites are ADA-accessible. Maximum party size is 8. Like most popular Recreation.gov campgrounds, Shell Creek books up months ahead, but cancellations open regularly. Campsite Sniper watches the targets you choose and alerts you when one frees up. We never book, hold, or pay for reservations; you book directly on Recreation.gov.
