    Garvin County Park

    Beautiful park with nice hiking trails

    We stayed in the Upper Campground in the site closest to the equestrian campground. The kids loved being able to meet & visit with the horses. 

    The sites were a good size, but not much privacy or tree coverage in the area we stayed. There were a lot of trails to hike and a river/stream that they said you could wade/swim in, but we didn't go into it. 

    There were a lot of playgrounds, and one really huge one the kids wanted to play on, but with COVID-19 still going strong, we didn't use it.

    Camden State Park Campground

    Nice campground on the prairie

    There are two campgrounds in this park - the upper one is on the prairie while the lower one is situated among trees along the river. We stayed in the lower campground in site 30. The lower campground is close to the playground and swimming pond but it rained the whole time we camped so we didn't use either.

    Sites in the lower campground are fairly close together and we didn't have cell service (Verizon), which wasn't a big deal.

    I brought my fat bike and bike the Bluebird and Dakota Valley trails. Both are mowed paths that go through prairie and wooded areas. The actual mountain bike trail was disappointing, it was overgrown, narrow, and hugged a high ridge.

    Our site, 30, sloped away from the parking pad. You wouldn't be able to set up.chairs under your awning at this site and the picnic table sat in a low spot that got muddy after 2 straight days of rain. There is a river that runs behind the sites in this loop. Our boys played on the rocks and had a great time.

    There are nearby train tracks and trains ran by several times a day, though luckily they don't blow the horn so we didn't notice them much.

    Camden State Park Campground

    Nice bathroom, nice hiking trails.

    We stayed in the lower campground. It is very opened. The campsites are medium size and close together. The bathroom was well taken care of. There are train tracks really close to the campground. The trains didn't seem long nor did they blow the horns. The swimming area looked nice, but it was too cold to use.

    Nice clean small park

    Good spot to stop for a short stay. Not much room for bigger rigs to get around but doable if dry.

    Camden State Park Campground

    Needs an upgrade

    Seems run down compared to 20 years ago. The swimming pond is very gross. Lots of weeds. They really need to clean it out. You can even see the spring anymore it’s so overgrown. Very sad to see something that was so clean and beautiful to be muddy, not clear and full of weeds.
