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.
