We only had time to hike 1 trail out to hidden falls. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday morning. 1 sign intersection was a little deceiving and AllTrail's had us going over a big boulder which wasn't gonna happen. We eventually made it there....Read More

One of my favorite places camp in Eastern Wyoming. Beautiful lakes full of trout and amazing wildlife. I suggest a slow drive around the whole park right before sunset and sunrise. Saw a young Moose last time .

We had the best time here! Campsites are far enough away from each other. There are lots of places to hike and explore within the campground. The views were amazing and so reasonably priced. I hope to come back!

I took my kids on a hike to see the waterfall in early July. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. The campsites look very well maintained and the staff is so joyful and pleasant. We will definitely come back to do some actual camping.

We only went to the playground by the visitor center, it's a cute little place.Clean and orderly

Great hiking! we went to the hidden falls and there’s nice views along the Crow Creek trail. It was less busy on the loop back (Mo Rocka). We stopped at the visitor center and it was nice with water bottle refilling station available.

Visiting from California and this place was unreal. The grounds are amazing and the hike to the waterfall is otherworldly. The hike is dog friendly and while it's states its a 4-5 mile hike my trackers clocked it at over 7.5 roundtrip. Worth it, but...Read More
