I say 4 stars. It's free, but obviously it would be nice of you to spend money at the businesses here. Level spot, bathrooms (no showers), Frisbee golf, kid playgrounds, a group gathering area, 12 spots with electric (50 & 30 amp and 110) but the ladybugs and bugs are horrible (10/12/25).

What an awesome little spot. I was there at the end of November, waiting out some bad weather when I stumbled upon this hidden treasure. Although nothing was open (bathrooms and other amenities), I was fully self-contained and grateful that they had power to plug into. The campground also offers working water and a dump station. Despite being next to the train tracks, it didn't bother me—I was jus... What an awesome little spot.

Despite being next to the train tracks, it didn't bother me—I was just thankful to have a place to stay over. It's a donation-based campground, there's a little box by the entrance, so I stuffed some money in an envelope and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Plenty of fat squirrels were running around, and there's a lot of area to walk around and stretch your legs.

Beautiful, clean campground with nice, clean bathrooms & great playground. Not a soul around except one large equipment operator in a tent. But I had to leave in a big hurry when a million flies took up residence in my car! Got out of there fast, raced down the highway at 65mph with windows down - wildly shaking a t-shirt trying to get rid of them. Drove 25 miles & still had 100 on the ceili...

Got out of there fast, raced down the highway at 65mph with windows down - wildly shaking a t-shirt trying to get rid of them. Drove 25 miles & still had 100 on the ceiling of my car@ Never experienced anything like it. Tomorrow they all leave or die!
