About
Barry's Landing and Trail Creek campgrounds occupy the south district of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, accessed via Highway 37 about 27 miles north of Lovell, Wyoming. The area provides a quieter, more primitive camping experience compared to the developed Horseshoe Bend area further south. Trail Creek offers 14 RV sites and 16 tent sites, each with a picnic table, fire ring, and access to food storage lockers. Barry's Landing provides overflow gravel-lot camping adjacent to the boat ramp. Facilities are basic: vault toilets operate year-round, but there is no potable water, electricity, or dump station. Campers must bring their own water and pack out trash if receptacles are full. Most RV sites accommodate rigs 28 feet or smaller; there are no pull-through sites. Pets are permitted on leashes no longer than six feet and may not be left unattended. The campground serves as a launch point for boating and fishing on Bighorn Lake, with the Barry's Landing boat ramp nearby. Hiking options include the Barrys Island Trail. Quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and generators are restricted to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Directions
From US Highway 14A in Lovell, WY, turn north on Highway 37 and continue approximately 22 miles. Just inside the NPS welcome sign, follow brown directional signs. Stay on Highway 37 until the sign indicates a right turn to Barry's Landing. If the paved road turns to gravel, you have passed the turn.
