Shell Campground

Shell Campground is located at 102 First Street in the small community of Shell, Wyoming. U.S. Highway 14 passes through town before climbing west into Shell Canyon and Bighorn National Forest. The immediate area is quiet and rural, with the Old Shell Store nearby for meals, pastries, convenience items, outdoor permits, and fishing or hunting licenses.

Nearby Attractions

What to Expect Around Here

Shell is tiny, quiet, and surrounded by considerably more landscape than commerce. Supplies should be planned before arrival, though the nearby store handles useful basics and the mountain road begins almost immediately.

Check current availability at Shell Campground and choose a cabin, glamping tent, or RV site for a stay at the base of the Bighorn Mountains.
