About this campground

Leigh Creek Campground The campground offers several single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets, drinking water from a hand pump, and trash collection are provided. The nearest dump station is 22 miles away at Powder River Pass. The campground sits on the banks of Tensleep Creek surrounded by a forest of lodgepole pine. Many lakes and streams are found in the surrounding Bighorn Mountains.

Off-highway vehicle trails, scenic jeep roads, hiking and additional fishing streams are available in the surrounding area. Diverse hikes vary from loop trails to treks along creeks and over mountain peaks; many trails access the Cloud Peak Wilderness, which is 14 miles northeast of the campground. Meadowlark Lake is about 11 miles from the campground. This small lake allows motorized craft at a wake-less speed. West Tensleep Lake is 14 miles northeast of the campground and is open to non-motorized craft only. Both lakes are great locations for canoeing and fishing.

What campers say

Leigh Creek is a small, riverside campground with about ten sites that feels secluded and quiet. Many reviewers praised spacious, private tent sites, the soothing creek sound, and a helpful on‑site host. Facilities are basic but well kept: vault/pit toilets, a hand pump and potable water, and occasional firewood for sale. Practical tradeoffs include no cell service, limited shade at a few sites, and some reports of overflowing trash. A couple of sites are first‑come/first‑serve and certain pullouts are favored for privacy and creek access; good for climbers and travelers heading toward Yellowstone or Devil’s Tower.
