Beautiful Campground & Park & Zoo!

The campground Host Sherry and John are great!

The campground is well maintained and right by the river. Nice RV spots and nice tent spots along the river. #10 is nice tent spot we like. #20 is good RV spot we use. There is Firewood in a shed for sale.

No cell service but able to text.

Nice clean bathrooms! Great shower heads in men’s bathroom.

Trails are super nice and well maintained, many different levels of hikes going along the River to hikes up on the prairie tops. Some nice overlooks.

Zoo and nature center are great. Animals are all rescued and given a home. Bison herd and elk and deer too.

We will be camping there again!

Quiet and Peaceful

We live close but finally camped here. Quiet and peaceful. Smaller campgrounds so everything is easily accessible. The zoo being on grounds is a great perk.

Quiet and peaceful

In the middle of the pandemic when all of the campsites are booked, there is absolutely no one here. It’s a very well maintained park with clean showers and bathrooms. Very small and quaint. The zoo is just 500 yards away, but you would never know it is there. It’s a donation only entry, so you pay what you can for the zoo. There is an awesome park near the sites for children.

Nice trails, with a zoo

The trails are decent for the size of the park, the picnic areas are big enough for large gatherings as well. The zoo on the grounds is small, but still fun.
