TravelerThis camp ground has nice tent sites, with a fire pit and electric at each one. The dog run was good size and well kept. Highly recommend!
LegendEasy on/off; very close to interstate. A lot of road noise. Very peaceful other than that. No longer affiliated with KOA. Mostly level sites. Nice playground. Electrical stations in good repair. Trees and grass keep the campground cool.
TravelerNice campground. Can pay online through Venmo @oldmillmuseum 12 without electric 15 with per night.
TravelerWe are slowly making our way to Montana and decided to stay for two nights. After seeing the campground we changed our plans and stayed a week. We were parked across from the dog park as requested. The laundry facilities were good and reasonably priced.
GuideVery nice campground. Can not beat the price. 15.00 for 30amp service. Surrounded by trees along a river in a nice little city park. Will definitely stop again if i ever pass through.
GuideCampground is small (6-7 spots) and right off dirt road. That said, quiet evening with one other couple camping. If full, would feel crowded. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table and there is a vault toilet. Lots of birds and had a Barred Owl fly right past me while I was setting up. Campground is adjacent to the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife area, largest wetland in the interior US and important migratory bird location. About 45 minutes off I-70.
GuideThis is a great stop if you’re traveling and just need a spot to park and camp for a night! Lots of bugs though! But it’s quiet, nobody else here, and a free simple place to sleep while we are passing through. Our pop up camper was super easy to pull in and the ground is flat :)
ScoutClean and new facilities. Lots of spots, many pull through.
GuideStayed on a Thursday night 9/12 and there were hardly any people there. It was a beautiful spot but quite exposed so expect some wind.. I would definitely stay there again.
