Prune Creek – Area Recreation
The area offers a wide variety of activities including fishing, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, OHVing, horseback riding and picnicking. Wildlife viewing is also great here! Nearby Sibley Lake is open to non-motorized craft and offers an accessible fishing dock on the shoreline. Shell Falls Visitor Center is also about 23 miles to the southwest and worth a visit.
Looking north from an elevation of 3,385 ft (1031 m), Hogback Overlook extends 0.2 miles along Skyline Drive, making it the longest overlook in the Park. Straight ahead is Gimlet Ridge. Gimlet Ridge veers left and descends into the Shenandoah Valley. Veering right from Gimlet Ridge is Mathews Arm. Far in the distance, on a clear day, you may see the Allegheny Mountains.
This RV Park has only 12 sites and is on the main street passing through Basin, WY enroute to Cody, WY. We are staying here until right after Labor Day. One 50 AMP site and 11 30 AMP sites. Does have one washer and one dryer and bathroom if you need to use theirs. Nothing fancy but price is right.
