We used to stay here every time we made the trek out west and back but this will be our last time. Seems like there’s some people living here full time and some common courtesy standards are not being followed. Our neighbors literally had their stinky slinkies laying in the grass not connected to anything 🤢

This is quite a clean self-pay RV park with all the needed amenities. Power and water hookups are available at each camping spot. The bathrooms are decent and the nearby park is great. There are tons of trees and the small lake is full of fish and makes for some fun times hooking up panfish and catfish. Highly recommend if you're passing through!

Really liked this campground in town. Easy to walk around town to explore the history of it. Have expanded, but new showers are not finished. Old showers need help.
