Shell Creek Campground

Feel free to turn off your “nature sounds” bedtime app - at this campground, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the surprisingly mighty waters of Shell Creek. A perfect basecamp for those interested in the area’s natural wonders, you won’t have to travel far to encounter a number of visitor centers featuring impressive interpretive exhibits, not to mention the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite with prints from 167 million years ago! In terms of privacy, Shell Creek Campground tends to favor the many large tent sites, which are plenty roomy and well-spaced among the lodgepole pines. RV campers won’t be quite as lucky, but with walls and window shades, your vehicle’s built-in barriers will more than make up for the neighborly proximity.
