I don't usually like big Campgrounds, but this one is great! There's a laundry facility, a very nice rest room with showers, a huge field with a walking trail... and the best thing that happened?!? A herd of wild buffalo visited this field and I got to see them up close! What majestic animals! Hey! I just realized that the picnic tables ADA friendly!

Super nice spot. Very easy to navigate with very clean shower room accommodations. Fresh water fill and Gray/Black dump stations are set up nice. If you like quiet and clean, this is it. These are photos from our last visit. The buffalo scene was taken one day after the annual roundup.
