Our ‘go-to’ place on our nearby mountain. There is no HU, no cell service for 10 miles, we can’t even get satellite radio and we LOVE it. What you don’t see in these photos are the creek-views and the moose (almost a nuisance ..moose are LARGE & aggressive with calf – or if startled & many call the Big Horns their own) . Other wildlife are deer, antelope (lower elevations), elk, few bears; I once even saw a nuthatch among the juncos & species of sparrows. Kayak down the Tongue River right from CG, or stream fish or read … total relaxation. There is a dump station & the three nearby lodges carry a few necessities. Yes, few sites at Prune are 40+’. Sr passes are honored for all CG in Big Horn NF.
I just found this wonderful website so I’ll be posting more reviews.
Great review on Prune Creek and thank you B’Wile’D! Look forward to other campground reviews from you.
