What campers say

Island Park Campground is a small, well-maintained site in the Bighorn National Forest with roughly eight well-spaced campsites along Ten Sleep Creek. Visitors commonly note clean restrooms and a helpful campground host. The setting is scenic and quiet, with frequent wildlife sightings — especially moose — and easy access to creek fishing and a gentle stream area suitable for children. Sites are best for dry camping and the elevation (about 8,500 ft) can make evenings cool, so bring warm layers. The limited number of sites makes it peaceful but can also mean limited availability.
