$45 - $90 / night
"We were met outside as we arrived and check-in was quick. We were escorted to a standard pull-through site 35 with FHUs. The first thing we noticed was how immaculate the campground(CG) was kept."
"This was a tiny little campground that hit the spot after driving 14 hours. Spotless bathrooms, perfectly groomed campsite, and ridiculously wonderful management!"
GuideWhat can you say that has it already been said about lake McConaughey? This place is huge and there's so many options to camp. I'm glad that we decided to camp off of the Beach area due to reports of many people getting stuck in the sand. We went the weekend after Labor Day and it was very nice with very few people. The campgrounds are fairly well spread out for privacy
ScoutLoved this small cozy campground. It was clean and well-maintained. Luke (the owner) was very helpful. Did not use the restroom facilities, but they looked nice. We only stayed one night passing through, but would have loved to stay longer!
ScoutOptions for full hookups, electric only, or simply parking in the parking lot. Full hookup ~$40 depending on your discounts. Nice simple town with decent food options. Great stop on the way to WY.
TravelerAnd when you finally get to the park because the directions are so bad, it is really really nice Sandy Beach
TravelerClean facilities, affordable overnight, playground but the road noise from 80 is very loud. If you don’t want hookups of any kind you can park in the large lot in front of the store overnight for free. That’s what the truckers do.
TravelerWe stayed one night on the way up to South Dakota and one night on the way back. It's a nice little campground for that. It was clean, the sites are level, and it's well-maintained. Since the sewer is on the north side of each site, you may have to run your hose under the camper or use the sewer hookup in the lot next to you, if no one is parked there. The owners are still working on the building with the bathroom, but it's nice to have a toilet and shower, if you need to use them.
The only negative is that the campground is right next to train tracks, and trains travel past it often. The last one I heard before I fell asleep was around 11:00 pm. I woke up at 6:00 and counted three trains by 7:30. They didn't bother me, but if you are a light sleeper, they might bother you.
I would stay here again.
GuideFine for a quick sleepover. We unfortunately were parked next a drinking group and has the pleasure of hearing more than one person getting sick outside. It’s fine for a pit stop with hookups.
TravelerThis is a little RV park with a view of hay bales. Large cottonwood trees for shade and plenty of room for the dogs to run!
ScoutWe stopped for an overnight while traveling to Wyoming. The host was quite nice, and the price was about half of what we could've paid at the KOA nearby. It was a quiet place to rest for the night. It definitely served our purpose, but as others said. It is a farm. Though we didn't see many cows, the flies definitely know they are there! Oh my! We jokingly said "they're raising flies!!!" And they were BITING flies. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. If you're planning on staying in your camper the whole time, this will work.
