Was looking for a place near the Big Horn mtns scenic hwy. This cute cabin was a great value. Check in and check out was a breeze. If you’re on the area, make sure to check out the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite!

Bunkhouse stay.
Great location, spacious room, easy check in and out. Pretty clean and good kitchen area. Did not have toaster oven as in pictures online and there were no directions for the AC and not enough blankets. We would stay again. Thank you.

The tent we rented was very roomy. Included electricity. Very comfortable bed. The area around the 10th was very quiet. So we had a good night's sleep. Check-in was very convenient. Overall a great value and pleasant experience

Cute, cozy, and comfortable
Shell campground cabins are exactly what a campground cabin should be. Small, cozy clean cabins. Bonus to have a small fridge, microwave small coffe maker and TV. No frills beyond that and we loved it! We had the deluxe with a double bed and twin bunks. We were comfortable for a two night stay.

Cozy, clean cabins. Clear directions for self check-in. Staff is friendly & nice. Shell Store is only dining in town (that I was aware of) but town of Greybull is nearby with additional dining options.

This was a quick one night on our way to Yellowstone. We never saw a person when checking in, everything was handled via email and they left an envelope for us at the office. We had already been out 8 days and the on-site laundry was great! The room was small but had absolutely everything we needed. Two comfortable chairs, a table, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely stay here.

Nice value for the money. Our road trip itinerary changed due to road construction and they were very nice to let us change our stay to the next day. We stayed in a cabin which was fairly clean except we had to wipe out the frige. Bed was ok. We could have used more than one hand towel but we were only staying one night. They have a coin laundry which we used. Thete are picnic tables by the cabins and we saw a pretty sunset.

Nothing like the photos show
Nice property...quiet...i think the tents could have been a little cleaner meaning a vacuum to atleast remove dead insects and spider webs. Bed and pillows comfortable. Nothing glamorous. Also there should be a designated area to smoke. Not everyone is a non smoker.

Beautiful stop in Wyoming
Very beautiful property! We stayed in the tent for one night. Amazing view facing a stunning sunset and with a little creek running right in front of us. Tent was very clean, bed was comfortable, looks exactly as pictured. The drive to the site was breathtaking and it was pretty quiet all night even though there is a road nearby. There was lawn games you are able to play with and bathroom/ showers so close by. I do wish there was more information on checking out as a tent since we left hoping we did everything properly, but we did appreciate the calm and easy manner it was to get our tent when checking in. Owners were very responsive through email when we first booked to answer any questions. Would stay again if crossing Wyoming in the future.

Beautiful cabin and area! We stayed here for just one night (wish it had been longer). We chose it for its convenience between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone. It became a little less convenient when we were forced to change route due to wildfire on other side of mountain. It became very stressful when we had to go over mountain while clock-watching trying to get there before their 7PM check-in deadline, with no cell service to be able to call them. But, as it was, they did provide for us being a little late. Once there, though, stress melted away in the calm beautiful locale. It’s a beautiful spot! Cabin was clean, cozy, thoughtfully decorated. It had heat, refrig, internet. The owner was friendly and accommodating. If we go west again I would definitely plan another (longer) stay there.

Very clean and quiet. It was fall and the room was cold but we found the space heater and talked to the manager and it worked out very well. We ate at the Shell store, which is also owned by the campground and it was excellent with very friendly staff.
