Tie Hack

Tie Hack Campground is located close to Tie Hack Reservoir, just 15 miles west of Buffalo, Wyoming on the east side of the scenic Cloud Peak Skyway, near the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. The surrounding Bighorn National Forest offers a wide variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, scenic driving and a number of historic sites. Tie Hack Reservoir is a great location for canoeing and fishing, where anglers cast for rainbow, cutthroat, brown and brook trout; a short trail leads from the campground to the lake. The Circle Park Trailhead is 3 miles from the campground, and this beautiful trail accesses numerous alpine lakes and two 12,000-foot peaks within the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Many additional hiking trails are available in the area. Scenic off-road driving is available on nearby Elgin Park, Pole Creek and Crazy Woman Canyon Roads, which are open to hiking and mountain biking as well. The campground offers single-family sites, which can accommodate a maximum of 8 people at one time; larger parties will find group camping at nearby Willow Park, Hettinger, Ranger Creek Recreation Area and Pine Island. Two sites meet accessibility standards, and all sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are also provided. The campground is situated near the shore of scenic Tie Hack Reservoir at an elevation of 7,900 feet. A dense forest of lodgepole pine covers the campground, and rock outcroppings are found inside it and along the shoreline. South Fork Lodge is nearby, offering dining options, lodging, guided horseback riding, a fishing pond and a small store with fishing and camping supplies.
