Bighorn National Forest Tie Flume Campground

I visited in September on the last two days before the campground closed for the season. The campground is in a spectacular location and this site backs up to the creek and the surrounding mountain meadow. I saw elk grazing in the meadow and wading in the creek, both evenings, just before dark.

The site and the entire campground were very clean and well maintained. The pit toilet was also very clean and stocked with extra toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

If you depend upon solar power, the sites are wooded. The camp host was friendly and very helpful! Firewood was available and sold on the honor system.

Located right on the South Tongue River, the sites are very nice and the campground is clean. The setting for this campground is spectacular!! The sites closest to the river all have great tent platforms. The only complaint would be the noise from all of the ATV’s driving by on the main road.

Pretty nice campground. Tie Flume trail just up and across from campground. Sites have big table, fire ring, stand alone charcoal grill and lantern hook. Fire pit needed cleaning. Toilets were clean. Camp hosts on site, but they never came by to greet me.

Bear Aware, bear safe, picnic table, grill, fire ring.  Gravel sites that are fairly flat with pine forest in and among the sites.  Pit toilet was very clean.  This campground is over 8000 feet with no electric.  There are several sites that are great for solar.  Loop A closes early in the fall.  During season the camp host sells firewood.  This is a beautiful campground with wonderful backdrop.

Awesome campground next to the small creek. Very remote and relaxing.

This place is amazing. Make sure you get a spot near the bubbling mountain stream...sites 23 and 24 were right on the waters edge. The camp host and family were awesome. Great hosts. It’s a no hook up facility but amazing . Bathrooms were very well kept. Firewood for sale. Beautiful spot . The drive up , it’s 8400 feet in the Bug Horn is spectacular and then the drive down if you are heading west is amazing too with the Shell interpretive waterfalls park. This is a must see !

We are hikers and don't have ATV's, so hiking trails are a must for us.  Thankfully, the Tie Flume campground is near abundant hiking and ATV trails.  We found trails way off the beaten path and enjoyed three full days of hiking. 

Be aware that you will have to arrive with water in your tank if you are in an RV.  The hand pumps at the campground do not allow you to attach a hose.  The water was wonderful though.

There is NO cell service within 18 miles of the campground.  Additionally, there is no grocery store or even stocked service station within miles as well.  Come prepared with what you need for your entire stay.

The Burgess Junction dump station is great and you can fill water tanks there on your way in and dump on your way out.

Sites are very spaced out, so it is very private and quiet. Lots of wildlife and pine forest.

Quiet, clean campground with toilet facilities and clean water, beautiful views all around.

This was down the road from my last camp and had more nights open. It was a great find until I found myself the line camper in the middle of a family reunion. Putting that aside, it was a good campground.

you drive a couple miles down dirt roads into the mountains. This sets the tone for an adventure. The sites were good sized. The vault toilets and trash bins were looked after often. Picnic tables - with moose and deer visitors - were great.

I liked the tie Flume trail just a quarter mile down the road. Follow that road and go on a dirt road trip. Black Mountain fire tower is 10 miles down. Continue and get back to the main road. I stayed a couple days here. It’s centrally located to explore the northern Bighorns.

This is a great campground that has much to offer. There are only 24 sites, none with hookups, so staying there is a more mellow experience that encourages listening to birds and chilling out. Nearby are hiking and ATV trails, history in the form of remnants of an old flume used to transport logs from the surrounding forest, and both river and lake fishing. Camp sites are large and wooded. Due to its elevation, the campground is refreshingly cool in the summer. A very nice campground if you enjoy a restful experience...stay a few days!

Honestly, this campground is pretty awesome. I love Wyoming and all the great campgrounds and outdoor activities they have, but this campground is definitely one of my favorites. Tie Flume Campground is located in the Bighorn National Forest, with scenery and wildlife all around you. You can't beat that! There are also so many activities to do here. You can hike, fish, hang around your campfire, and they also have a few historical sites located nearby. When I stayed here, I did a lot of hiking and fishing. I did most of my fishing along the South Tongue River which is within walking distance from the campground. The campground itself is pretty clean and well kept. I'm not sure if they offer big sites for RVs, but we stayed in a single family site which came with a camp fire ring and a picnic table. My family and I really enjoyed making a big campfire and making smores! We also cooked some fish one night that I caught in the river. I hiked Lily Lake Trail which is part of the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Really enjoyed this hike, great scenery and awesome views during the hike and at the top. I would definitely recommend hiking at least one of the days of your stay. Great location, great campground, and great atmosphere!
