Sparta Campground

A well maintained quiet campground. The process follows - drive straight in, staying to the right, and go by the bath house to fill your fresh water tank with potable water. Find your numbered site and plug in to power your trailer's water pump and lights. Enjoy. The sites going off to the right of the bath house are grassy and excellent for tent camping. The other sites are smoothed rock sites. 1... A well maintained quiet campground.

There is also a dump station for the RV's. The only thing that was a nuisance was the train horns at different times through the night - which is something that the campground has no control over. Texts to the contact number were answered promptly. No on-site office and access is unrestricted.

Very rustic, basic campground, but that is sort of reflected in the lower price. There are water spigots and a rudimentary dump station near the shower house but no water or sewer at the sites. Creekside sites are grass only, but shaded and reasonably level. Sites up on the hill are graveled but level-ness varies and they have no shade. Cell service is nonexistent at the creekside sites and sketch... Very rustic, basic campground, but that is sort of reflected in the lower price.

My digital TV antenna would only pull in 4 channels, all KET educational stations. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but a railroad crossing is about 150 yards away with trains sounding horns like 10 times a night at all hours. Showers have a timed valve that gives you about 20 seconds of water and then shuts off; takes 4 or 5 cycles to get warm water. There's no office or management on-site-- the person who answers the park phone contacts the manager who lives 5-10 minutes away. Having said all that, it is a rather pretty, rural location, and the sound of the creek babbling and the birds chirping while the breeze gently stirs the leaves on the trees is quite pleasant, in between trains... I was there during an off-peak period, but there is what looks like a small stage up on the hill, and others' photos seem to indicate they may have some entertainment and/or activities during busy times.
