Stunning last minute stay!

Found this place when we were in desperate need of a last minute site. We pulled right in around midnight and set up. We put $5 in the cash box in the morning. The tent site area is nestled in the trees right next to the lakeshore. There is running water and compost toilets! Stunning view of the lake for sunrise. Would defiantly recommend

Last minute campsite!

This was such a perfect campsite. We visited Shoshone Falls and decided to crash at a nearby campsite. Very nice and quiet. Only $5!

Bird Oasis

Sweet little county park in the middle of farmlands. We arrived just after dark on a Monday night without reservations and there were plenty of sites. Camp host collected $5 cash for a tent site. Woke up to lots of birds, including red-winged blackbirds, yellow-headed blackbirds, white pelicans and swans. Clean vault toilets. A playground for kids.
