About this campground
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area encompasses Afterbay, a National Park Service campground that draws visitors to this section of south-central Montana. The facility operates without water hookups, requiring campers to bring their own supply for drinking and cooking needs. Sites include individual picnic tables and fire rings, with mature trees providing shade coverage across the camping area. A central grass field serves as a gathering space where visitors play horseshoes, volleyball, and other lawn games. The campground fills to capacity during summer months, making advance reservations essential for peak season visits.
