Closest campground to the Big Horn mountains

Too many campgrounds feel like parking lots. Shell Campground is different — a boutique property with all the amenities you expect, without the crowds. We're the closest full-service campground to Big Horn National Forest, right on US Highway 14, a Wyoming scenic byway and a main route between Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower and Yellowstone National Park.

Whether you're here to hunt, fish, snowmobile, or just take in the views along one of the area's many scenic drives, the Big Horn mountains and basin have plenty to offer. We hope you'll choose to stay with us.

Sleep in a Schoolhouse. Wake Up with Dinosaurs.

Our newest and most unique stay: a beautifully restored 1915 schoolhouse with exclusive after-hours access to the attached Wild West Dino Den museum — including Big Al, one of the most complete Allosaurus specimens ever found, discovered right here near Shell.
