Middle Fork Campground

We adored our stay here...as soon as we arrived, the kids embarked on an epic rock scramble (awesome hill of boulders right across from our site) and we checked out the stream running right behind the campground. Beautiful forests, a lovely nature walk that takes you up to an open meadow with epic mountain views (cue the "Sound of Music" soundtrack), super clean vault toilets, lots of space between sites, relatively straightforward access road (a bit bumpy but nothing that was not navigable). Overall, this was a wonderful campground in a gorgeous, natural setting -- this is the kind of place that reminds us why we camp! Five stars!

Our site was located on the banks of Clear Creek and had a very private sandy beach for us to sit in our camping chairs near the water. Beautiful, tall trees surrounded our campsite. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Occasionally an ATV would go through the campground creating a little noise and dust, but it wasn't bad. It certainly wouldn't deter me from staying again. The campground is located near the Cloud Peak Skyway, a scenic byway that is worth seeing. The campground does have vault toilets, drinking water, and trash cans. I didn't visit the vault toilets but the campground was very clean and well maintained.

Ten sites with plenty of room, even for a big rig. Apparently you can reserve sites here. We were in site 4, which had plenty of sun for our solar panels, but the rest are well shaded. Water spigot was across from us. Very clean and well-maintained. All sites are along a roaring creek, which we enjoyed, but if you are hoping for quiet to hear the birds, forget this place. Hiking trails nearby. Close to route 16. Other campgrounds are nearby if this one is full. Route 16 south from route 90 is not for wimpy tow vehicles. We want to come back and spend more time in the gorgeous Bighorn Mountains.
