Horseshoe Bend Campground — Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area

Nicely spaced sites, some have awesome pergolas over the sites, many leveled and outlined with landscape timbers. No showers but do have flush toilets and dump station.

Beautiful campground with amazing views of the canyons. No trees so no shade, luckily we arrived in the early evening so temps weren’t as hot. Sky is very, very dark and you can see so much on a clear night. Great for anybody with an astronomy hobby! Heard coyotes at night but sounded far away. First come first serve spots, you pick an open spot and deposit the payment in the provided envelopes by the bathroom and put it in the Iron Ranger. You then clip a piece from the envelope to your spot to show you’ve paid. Some spots have fire pits, others do not so choose wisely. The spots are spread out enough so you’re not close to other campers. Bathrooms were adequate, flush toilets with soap/water/hand dryer. Highly recommend and will be staying here again next time we’re in Wyoming!!!

Open year round but, water and electric are off September 30 through May 1. There are no vault toilets in campground. 1/4 mile away flush toilets are open year round. $30 per night for developed sites (no senior discount). $18 per night for undeveloped sites with no water or electric. Senior discount ok. (There are no undeveloped sites unless you count the developed sites in winter when power and water are off.

November 5 I was the only one there. No trees or shrubs anywhere.
