I’ve stayed here every summer for a while now, I enjoy the birdwatching and quieter location. This year the Campground host was very nice, stopping by my spot to say hi and talk for a while. Bathrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve encountered in a campground. See you next year!

I made a cross country trip and this was probably my favorite campsite. It was clean and quiet. The bathroom was clean and didn't smell bad. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Clean sites, friendly campers, lots of wildlife were all positives for us. Unfortunately all of the water spigots were taped shut & unavailable for use.

There was no potable water available. Spigots are there, but they are all shut down, perhaps due to drought?

As usual the campground manager has kept everything neat and clean. Despite county road 77 being closed there was still good access to the Grasslands Birding Trail. With more rainfall the Pawnee Grasslands foliage is lush compared to a year ago. It is disappointing that there is still no fresh water available in the campgrounds. It's pain to have water if your stay is longer than a day. Unlike the last two years the 4th of July fireworks at the residence across the road did not go on for all hours of the night preventing sleep for weary travelers and traumatizing little children and pets.

Very nice little campground and we have stayed here a handful of times before. It deserves a better rating and we will be back. The problem was our reserved site was taken. After a long day of travel we pulled in late, maybe 11:45pm. Someone was in our site with our reservation tag still displayed. Very disappointing!
