Campgrounds

Attention Campers

A lot of camping in Bighorn Canyon is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please double check with each campground whether reservations are needed or not. 

There are a very small number of reservable spots available on the south district online only through the Horsehoe Bend Marina. 

Lake levels and weather conditions can affect the proximity of the boat moorings to campsites at Black Canyon Camprground and Medicine Creek Campground. Docks to these campsites are removed in the winter.

 

Below you will find basic information about the four campgrounds in Bighorn Canyon as well as the waterway campgrounds. Click "View Details" under each to go to a page with more information about that campground.
