Excellent place to see the stars at night. Lots are paved. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a must see in the area. Stop at the visitor center first then enter the park.

The site were very spacious and beautiful. We pulled in and could find our site easily. The site fit our 44 ft motorhome and Jeep. I wish the allowed reservations for more than 5 sites. The dump station was still broken although we didn’t need it. The host was very friendly. What a gem.

When I arrived the campsite said it was for RVs only, but that was not clear when I reserved it and I had a tent. The host said he has been dealing with this all season and that there was a glitch in the website. The whole campground is right next to the interstate so there is regular traffic noise.
When I went to bed the sky was clear and then all of a sudden it became very windy so I got up and put the rain fly on my tent. It was a good think I did because the lightning, thunder, and rain soon started. There were a few mosquitoes but not a swarm.

We stayed two nights and it was really nice. There is some road noise but it died down after 9:00 pm. The bath house was clean. The camp host was awesome. It’s very convenient to Theodore Roosevelt NP.

I stopped here for the showers!! I had been in the National Parks for 4 days and needed a shower. Showers were functional, but not super clean. Facility is a bit old. I was in Site 11 and there was no shade. Site Host was very nice and friendly.
