Nice and free
Such a lovely park with a playground, bathroom, and pavilion. There are limited spots for camping, but we arrived around 6 pm and had no issue snagging a spot. We’re here with mostly RVs, but we’re tent camping and it’s perfect for us too.
Small site
There are 6 or 7 spots that are viable for tent camping. The other 5 or 6 spots are all gravel. Plenty of shade. The restrooms were plumbed but dirty like a typical park restroom. The showers are located at the pool.
Great spot in a pinch
The area I planned on staying out was very busy so I found this place in a pinch. It was a very quiet area next to a nice park. I ended up staying two evenings and I was the only person there for the first night and during the second night of a couple other campers arrived. The bathrooms were clean and they are trash cans located throughout. It’s not very big and I wouldn’t recommend it for a long-term stay but for a couple of nights it works great.

A nice clean stopping point on your journey
Visited 1/30/2022 & 2/26/2022
We chose this campground as our first and ultimately last night stay on our vacation. We were traveling from Minneapolis Minnesota to various Arizona destinations for a month RV vacation. Coming from MN in January we started our journey with no water in our water tank. We got in at twilight and much to our pleasant surprise found that water was running so we immediately filled our water tank.
All of the sites have 30 & 20 Amp electric service. Water facets are at multiple non-site locations, and there is 1 central dump station.
The campground is clean and well maintained. The camp sites are roomy with picnic tables and fire rings at each site.
The campground is free, but they have envelopes and a dropbox for donations; consider donating as the campground is a really nice stopping spot.
There was no T-Mobile phone service so we did not have Internet or Phone service, but this was the only inconvenience that we experienced during our stays.
We will definitely come back if we happen to be in the area and need a place to stay. It is a 1st come 1st served campground. There are no reservations so be warned on that, but you can call ahead and get a feel for availability.
Small and Peaceful
We visit this camp ground multiple times a year. It is a donation camp ground with electric hookup (30 & 50 amp). The city park is a quick walk. Wonderful little site, be aware there is train tracks that run next to the park. While there are not a lot of trains that go through you will hear a loud train once in a while.
Great Little Campground!
We made a pit stop here on the way North and were impressed with this hidden gem. There's about a dozen RV spots with electric hookups, a public bathroom, picnic areas, folfing, and several playground areas. You pay what you can for a donation, with a four night limit.
Cute shops, fireworks, and woodfired Pizza & FREE CAMPING W/ HOOKUPS!
No kidding, FREE CAMPING with HOOKUPS! Flush Toilet and the pool is a short walk away and I was told you could use the showers for free! (the pool looked inviting also)
Stromsburg has a Swedish festival (Cancelled this year-COVID) but also has this great First Friday thing with live music in the square, fireworks off the roof, fire baked Pizza and other very cool concessions, wine tasting, and more.
This is a way cool local thing, so the First Friday does not over crowd the camping area.
