Camping at Owen Creek near Dayton

Public campground · Dayton · 7 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Owen Creek Campground sits at about 8,400 feet along the Bighorn Scenic Byway near Burgess Overlook and the Woodrock area, where the banks of Owen Creek meet a mixed stand of pine and aspen beneath craggy granite peaks that rise above 13,000 feet. The setting is compact and quiet there are seven sites in all, each configured to accommodate both tents and RVs and furnished with a picnic table and a campfire ring with a grill so it feels more like a small, creekside cluster than a large development.

How far ahead to book Owen Creek

For July weekends, book about 157 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 37 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
June54 days ahead140 days ahead89 days ahead168 days ahead
July37 days ahead157 days ahead74 days ahead169 days ahead
August39 days ahead87 days ahead59 days ahead148 days ahead
September32 days ahead54 days ahead25 days ahead71 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,011 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
