About
Tie Flume Campground occupies a scenic spot along the South Tongue River in the Bighorn National Forest, where lodgepole pine forests create excellent wildlife habitat beneath peaks rising over 13,000 feet. The campground takes its name from the historic tie flumes used decades ago to transport railroad ties down the river; remnants of the old splash dams can still be found along the riverbanks. The 26 single-family sites accommodate up to 8 people each with two non-towed vehicles allowed per site. Facilities include accessible vault toilets, potable water from a hand pump, and trash collection. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Firewood bundles are available for purchase. Nearby Sibley Lake offers non-motorized boating and an accessible fishing dock. The area provides access to diverse hiking trails ranging from creek-side walks to mountain peak treks, many leading into the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Shell Falls Visitor Center lies about 18 miles southwest, featuring interpretive trails and scenic overlooks.
