A cute spot tucked into a tiny little town. Full hookups available and well taken care of. Their guest bathroom is pretty clean as well and there's a cute little audio museum on the grounds as well. Friendly to dogs. I'll definitely be glad to stay here again if im passing through.

The exhibits are mediocre which shows how the city takes care of their history. They have put the covered wagon, and the horse drawn fire truck in a shed with a wire-enclosed window. There's a sign about the information of the covered wagon, and an audio button that you push to hear the detailed review about covered wagon, and the Oregon Trail. The park employees need to clean the windows, and dust the exhibits.

The grounds were peaceful, bathrooms were clean, and the shower was free if you were staying there. The manager Gloria was really nice! We will definitely stay there again!

Quiet tiny RV park. Right next to a city park - pull thru was long and right against a fence, a bit tight to get into with our large Class A to make sure we were off the street and could still have a slide out. Gloria was a great host who greeted us when we arrived and helped lead us to our site. She and her husband rescued us from a wasp nest as we were trying to leave. Very small park but was a great place for a same night stay while everything else was booked and twice as expensive. Electric and water hookup with a dump on site if needed. Would stay again.
