It has a remote feel, though close to the city. Excellent amenities including clean and heated restrooms with flush toilets, large fire ring, large open field, flag pole, large shelter with ample electrical receptacles, and good trails. A newly installed hammock structure is really exciting. It can fit a dozen hammocks! The only downside is the highway noise due to close proximity to I-35, especially noticeable on quiet nights.

Great spot for cub scouts camping as a Pack. Fields and camping sites are flat in a grassy (cut short) area. Nice bathrooms and a shelter with lights and plenty of electricity access. There is a flag pole and a big fire ring. Other smaller fire rings around the campsites too. Pod 1 and 3 a little more isolated (more privacy) Pod2 nearest from bathroom and shelter. Nice hiking trails (1.25 miles l... Great spot for cub scouts camping as a Pack. Fields and camping sites are flat in a grassy (cut short) area. Nice bathrooms and a shelter with lights and plenty of electricity access. There is a flag pole and a big fire ring. Other smaller fire rings around the campsites too. Pod 1 and 3 a little more isolated (more privacy) Pod2 nearest from bathroom and shelter. Nice hiking trails (1.25 miles loop that connect with other longer trails) for older kids, also nice mountain biking trails. We can hear highway and trains a little at night but not really bothersome. Lots of wild life (bobcats, deers, turkeys,.. ). Definitely would, recommend that spot for a pack family camping event or troop event. The parking is on the small side though and you will need a wagon to carry your stuff to the camping pods.

We stayed at the youth campground area off of 213st. There was power at the very nice pavilion, two bathrooms were available (sink, toilet, and baby changing station), and the space was large enough to occomodate plenty of tents and there was still room for kids to play. Access to trails directly from camp was a nice bonus.

(Pod #1) Very nice campground. A nice pavilion w/ a dozen or so picnic tables, a pair of restrooms (well maintained, BTW) and a big field to accommodate a group of campers with nearby parking. Field is surrounded by wooded area. Saw skunks, raccoons and deer while were there. Also has easy access with lots of available hiking trails.

Great site for group camping. 3 "pods" with fire rings and height adjustable fire grates for grilling. The pods provide flexibility so the grounds can accommodate very large groups or multiple smaller groups. Cost per pod por night is very within reason. The shelter has handicapped accessible picnic tables, tons of power outlets, and very bright lights. The restrooms are clean, have flushing toile... Great site for group camping. 3 "pods" with fire rings and height adjustable fire grates for grilling. The pods provide flexibility so the grounds can accommodate very large groups or multiple smaller groups. Cost per pod por night is very within reason. The shelter has handicapped accessible picnic tables, tons of power outlets, and very bright lights. The restrooms are clean, have flushing toilets and running water. Flag pole for scout groups, and a huge fire ring. The open green space allows for all sorts of activities. Trails connect the camp grounds to the park, but it's a few miles to get from one to the other.
