    Lovely Foliage

    This lake bed is nearly dry so the camping was super empty. There’s some basic composting toilets but otherwise no facilities. I loved how remote and empty it was.

    Beware of This Loud and Chaotic Campsite

    I recently camped near a couple who made the experience quite unpleasant. First, there’s the constant, heavy use of cannabis—while not an issue for everyone, it was overwhelming at times. They also had eight dogs that were continuously barking, making it impossible to find any peace and quiet.

    The vehicle they arrived in seemed suspicious, too. The tag on the travel trailer says "in transit," but the plates are from 2018, which felt a bit sketchy.

    And then there’s the woman, who was constantly yelling at her phone, seemingly about online trolls. This went on day and night, making the entire experience unsettling.

    If you're seeking tranquility or a peaceful connection with nature, I'd recommend steering clear of this area if you see them camped out. Or call the police.

    Last minute slept in car

    Place was quiet, besides animals. Pulled over and parked for the night. It was chill no one bothered us. Shell casings everywhere, seems like we always wake up and find out we're in a shooting range. Saw some tracks, bear maybe? Kept the doors locked.

    No trees, high plains, hot in June, windy, not crowded

    About 15 parking spots off the road in a grassy patch with some bushes. Each spot with a sign labeled "parking" and not explicitly prohibiting camping. Arrived at 5pm and no one else was there but it was 100 degrees (June) too hot to set up tent etc so left and returned when the sun was setting at 8pm. Still no one else at the site and it had cooled down so began setting up tent but while sun was setting the winds picked up enormously (over 18mph) and whipping tent around it was too windy to tent camp so left around sunset. It would be a great camp site if it wasn't too windy! Very spacious, open land, birds singing, few people, green grass and bushes, near a reservoir for fishing, and no bugs besides ants, anthills, flies, grasshoppers, and stink bugs. Bathrooms down the road and good cellphone service

    Great Last Minute Save

    Last minute ditch effort to find a spot after driving 21 hours. Nice and quiet from any traffic and perfect breeze from the river. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise. Wouldn’t stay here for the day but a beautiful random spot!

    Adequate with a great view

    It was just a place to park. I only went to sleep for the night, which was fine. I would not want to spend more time than that. I saw a sign that said no fire. But it’s right on the Arkansas River, so at least it had a pretty view

    Quiet spot right on the trailhead

    Secluded area with a pretty clean bathroom. The road is a washboard for a couple miles but worth it.

    Desperate times...

    If it wasn't so late and stormy, my husband and I would have moved on... but there aren't a lot of options in this area anyway. This isn't like any "campground" I know--this was basically one open dirt lot. There was one poor tenter having a hard time keeping their tent on the ground during the storm, a few RVs that have seen better days, and a couple parked vehicles during my stay. The occasional car with a rattling bass would drive by throughout the night. But worst of all, the wind changed in the middle of the night and I woke up gagging from the smell of pig s***. It was bad enough we left as soon as the sun began to rise. No vault toilets and no privacy to be found here, either.
