    Circle Park Campground - Site #10

    I gave it 5 stars because Big Horn National Forest is absolutely beautiful, there are many…read morecampgrounds in the area that are either first-come, first-serve or reservable and there is also dispersed camping allowed throughout the area. This review is for Circle Park Campground. There are about 10 campsites, you can reserve ahead of time by calling but we opted to show up and see what was available. We arrived at around 2:00pm in the afternoon on a Saturday at the end of June and there were about 5 or 6 spots available, I'd say it was full by 6:00pm. We were in campsite #10 (This will be important later). Circle Park is tucked in about 2.5 miles off of the main road so you are nestled right in the forest. Some of the sites are pretty close together but we were able to snag one that was off of a loop on the far end of the campground. I was there with my boyfriend, I also saw families and individuals camping in tents or hard-sided campers. There is a water pump available, and vault toilets. The site had a parking spot to pull into, picnic table, and fire ring. Firewood is not available to purchase, however you can drive up the main highway a couple more miles to a different campground to purchase wood. It was very quiet and scenic, and early in the evening a large deer walked right past us as we were playing cribbage at the picnic table. The deer would have been enough for me but I have an even more amazing wildlife tale to tell: We settled in, cooked dinner over our fire and see the camp host/ranger driving by to check on everyone (There's no established camp host at this campground, she just drives through once in the evening. She swings by our site (#10) which is tucked away from the other sites a little bit. She tells us that there is a moose that likes to come out into the clearing near our campsite every evening at 8:00pm, if we were interested in watching for it, and then tells us to have a good night. I walked about 15 feet from our tent to a break in the trees where I get a full view of the clearing and watch for the moose with my binoculars. Lo and behold there she is about 150-200 yards out from our tent/campsite at around 8:20 pm - pretty punctual for a moose! I'm watching her through binoculars for a while and then I see another larger female moose in the bushes by the clearing. Slowly they are making their way across the field (nearer to our campsite but still 100 yards away), I was beyond excited to see these magnificent creatures so close to us. We figured that once it's dark they'll make their way back to where they came from, especially since the camp host didn't seem super concerned when she told us about the moose. We end up putting out our campfire shortly after dark so we can get to bed early. We sit for a few minutes watching the embers fade and then we hear LOUD FRANTIC SNORTING sounds from very close in the clearing, I'm talking there's about 20 feet of scattered tree coverage and then the clearing. I look over through the trees and I see two moose silhouettes RUNNING back and forth. Luckily, these are drive-in sites so me and my boyfriend rush to sit in the car which was 15 feet to the right. Both HUGE MOOSE walk right up the pathway from the clearing, 5 feet from our tent, up in front of my car and 2 feet away from the passenger side where I was sitting. The biggest one decides to lay down 20 feet from my car. AMAZING experience. However, it forced us to sleep in the car until the sun was out just enough to see that they had moved on. We were sore and tired in the morning, but the experience made it worth it. SO, beware of campsite #10 if you have a tent because you might be trampled by moose if you don't hear them in time. I believe the camp host was keeping something from us, as I think this is a common route the moose take through this campsite. The guy in the tent across the way heard them but he was already settled in his tent and the moose seemed to like to stay by us. The other campers there had no idea what had happened that night! Also be aware that moose are very territorial and you never want to get in between a mother moose and her calf (The calf was about 6 feet tall, momma was even taller). There are multiple postings about moose at the entrance to the main gate, do read them and follow protocol to stay safe!!

    Circle Park Campground - I don't have a great camera but this was my first sighting of moose #1. I'm standing about 20 feet from my tent. She's in the center.

    Good location if you are driving between Mt Rushmore/Custer/Black Hills and Yellowstone-Teton…read more The owners are really nice, we were greeted by them sitting in front of the office in the evening before check in. They provided us with a big map of Wyoming as soon as we told them we were headed to Yellowstone the next day. They only accept cash or check so make sure you bring either. We paid $21 total for one night tent with warm shower included. The bathrooms are nice and kept clean. There are 8 total showers in the communal bathrooms with 2 shower curtains for extra privacy. The water heated up fast so no complaints there. They also have a Laundromat. The only 'downside' (if you could call it that) is that it got fairly windy during our stay with winds up to 30mph. Since it is fairly close to the mountains it was expected and the owner told us to pitch our tent by their wooden fence for more comfort from the winds. Also, we were greeted by 4 small deer at around 10pm so if you don't like that then maybe you can look for a campsite within the city of Buffalo since this campground is about 5 minutes drive down highway 16. A tip is if you leave early (5am) and head towards Yellowstone you can catch some roaming elk along the way. I would definitely recommend this campground. From the friendly owners to the quiet atmosphere and great bathrooms it really doesn't get much better than this if you are looking for a quick place to stay on your way to Yellowstone. Just make sure you check in before 9pm since that's when the office closes and they don't allow self check-in.

    We've camped here a few times and it has always been great. They have bathrooms which could be…read morebetter since they don't have a sink/mirror but most camp sites don't have a bathroom at all. Good camp sites for tents, RV's, and vans. Lots of space which while there are gravel sections there aren't many rocks in the ground for tent sleepers! Petroglyphs are awesome to see and learn about, My favorite is the timeline. Volunteers are awesome and it's a lovely place. There is running water which is great to go to sleep listening to but also you can swim in it. The water is chilly but when you get in it feels so nice, especially on a hot day. You can swim in the shallow end or jump in and swim to the rock formation. Not many fish saw one small one and a toad years ago but lots of rocks, and sand but not much moss or algae. Lots of wildlife saw some deer on the way there, birds, gardener snake, raccoons (Hide your food & trash!), and of course bugs. Basically all the bugs bite, deer/horse flies, Mosquitos, Boxelder bugs, ants, and a few moths & butterflies. Had a great time would recommend & they do have a drinking water station but don't bathe, or do laundry it's the sanitary station to fill up water jugs. They've got fire pits with a grill you can add on top and wonderful wonderful views of the stars, We even saw some constellations. Got very busy on the weekend but I think it has to do with the time of year.

    This spot is very much off the main roads. It's a winding drive through the countryside surrounded…read moreby ranches and fields on either side of the County Road leading back to the site. As you enter the park, part of the Wyoming State Park System, the bright red rock face, the destination, is visible for a short time as you make your way through the trees, past the campsites, and the walking trails. Originally part of a working cattle ranch, Medicine Lodge became a 12,000 acre wildlife management area of which this site is part. The archaeological portion is a relatively short walk along the sandstone rock face where the Native American petroglyphs and pictographs are etched. Of course, there are also periodic and far less interesting distractions of the modern day taggers who can't help themselves. While there are interpretative markers drawing attention to the most notable glyphs and graphs every few feet, it can take a bit of time to discern them on the rock face -- especially when the afternoon sun is at the wrong angle. It's a truly fascinating glimpse into what archaeologists have dated back thousands of years. The markings are simplistic, much as you might see from a child, but once you understand the story each is telling, it becomes an extraordinary site. The introductory section displayed a visual representation of certain events back ten thousand years to give viewers a sense of time. The site is free for day use if wanting to see the petroglyphs is the main draw for you , but there are also overnight campsites, both reserved and first-come first-served, for those wanting to enjoy the peaceful outdoors, maybe fish, catch a glimpse of the wildlife, and camp in the western foothills of the Bighorns. There's also a horse corral for those intrepid explorers who prefer to travel and explore with their larger four-footed companion.
