Reviews of Medicine Lodge Archaeological Site (Park)

Eli Jordan

Best campground in Wyoming for a family vacation.

Tomas Dawson

Interesting site with some great rock art. There are also some cool historic building that can be toured.

Carolyn Wallace

Great service.

Barry Maxted

Great out of the way place to visit - relax - camp - and look at the petroglyphs...

There aren't many places where you can drive right up to a rock art panel. The art here is very unique, and spans a wide range of time. I've seen over 10,000 images by now, and never come across faces depicted as they are here. The panel has many shield bearing warriors, several of which have faces as round as their shields. The guide pamphlet is educational for sure, but relax your eyes and mind and you'll see many more images than they discuss. My camera didn't work very well that day (Arg!!), So I only have a couple pics to share.

Absolutely beautiful and historic!

Angela Meck

Very well maintained, clean facilities by the petroglyphs. Great stop with a playground for the kids and a creek to play around. Petroglyphs are older than most so they are worn and in some spots vandalized, but mostly in tact and still visible from the walkway.

Gorgeous! Wonderful campground! Sites along the river. Clean restrooms. Awesome hiking trails. There are no hook ups, but it didnt bother us. Interesting and amazing history. We will definitely be back! Loved it!

Mountain Girl Art

Although it is a beautiful place, and used to be one of my favorites, but...it's under new management. Won't go back till they change management again.

Ali Iverson

Good experience. Just wished they would clean and restock the bathrooms more often.

Michael Cooley

Very educational and thought provoking. Nice campground on site with fire rings and picnic tables. Very sarine and tranquil place to visit. I give it a 5 for sure. Loved it.

As the one review said, you have to want to go here. It isn't the bells and whistles type like the big parks. It's a great place and if you don't like it then don't come back.

This is a magical place; you can see why the tribes thought so much of it for so many thousand years. It’s a little tricky to find, but worth the trouble: an eroded red sandstone slot canyon carved into the edge of the Bighorn National Forest, one huge wall is covered with unusually clear petroglyphs—and they’re not only easy to get to, they’re wheelchair-accessible (some are up a hill, but most are along a mostly-flat gravel path). There are pamphlets to help you decipher the petroglyphs, a physical timeline to help you grasp the passage of time (the canyon has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years), a beautiful trout stream that has undercut the sandstone on the other side of the canyon, forming deep shady overhangs and caves—we saw a tiny bat swooping down from the overhang to get a drink one time; a little nature center with pamphlets that describe the sights along a lovely, mostly shaded, numbered walking path; improved campsites (currently $17 a night for out-of-state campers in high season), picnic areas, multiple hiking paths, restrooms, horse facilities (call ahead to arrange)plenty of parking, and a beautiful little old-fashioned white clapboard farmhouse inhabited by some of the luckiest SOBs on the planet ;-). The only time I’ve ever seen it really crowded was Fourth-of-July weekend, and even then there was plenty of elbow room—just no camping sites available, but lots of places to picnic or park and stroll. Bring your curiosity and reverance, and you’ll be impressed.

What a fantastic gem to find in the middle of nowhere! If you're on the road, stop here for a picnic and walk about. Couldn't have been more grateful to find such a well maintained oasis.

Dede Farrar

A beautiful area to camp. Amazing petroglyphs. Hiking with scenery that you'll never forget. I will come back.

Diamond in the rough. This is the most well maintained park in the state. The Rangers are extremely nice. Very friendly and stress free place.
