Lake Shel-oole Campground

We spent two nights at this campground. Campground was quiet even for being in a railroad town. Hardly heard any train noise. Bathrooms appeared to get cleaned everyday. Sites have electric to them. Campground person came through every morning and talked to use. The local sheriffs office went through multiple times. Most water spickets did not seem to work so had to haul water from the spicket behind the RV dump station. This campground has issues with gophers and gopher holes. One camper got kicked out after six weeks of not paying while we were there according to the campground attendant. Lot cheaper than getting a hotel room at the cheapest hotel in town. Will stay again when we visit family in town.

The campground was mostly empty on July 3rd & 4th. A pay ($25 a night) station is on the honor system. Bathrooms and showers are old but in working order. A few sketchy looking campers here that look like from the movies breaking bad. If you know what I mean. Good for a night or two only.

$25 a night. Restrooms and showers but did not need them. 30amp and water at some sites. Several spigots around the campground . Back in sites are small. Pull throughs are big rig friendly.

We got here on Sunday and the campground was empty except for one other camper. Lots of sites with electric some have water. Plenty of spigots otherwise around the grounds. Still $25 but a great deal. Glad the town supports it. Police patrol often.

I camp in my vehicle. The campground has great bathrooms and showers.

Traveling Hwy 2, we were looking for a quiet spot. Clean bathrooms with showers, electrical hook up and water near by. “Lake” is small and silty. Perfect spot for a good night sleep, though. $25

This is a clean respectable camping area. No privacy between sites, but they are level and a good deal for $25/night. Our site had electric hookups with water nearby. I don't think there was a camphost. Some large pull throughs and smaller back ins. Playfields are nearby and we heard the happy sound of kids playing in the background. Bathroom/showers were basic but clean.

My wife and I stopped at Lake Shel-Oole Campground on our trip to Canada this summer (July 3rd). The campground is a bit dilapidated, but had several spots available that were easy to pull into. Some sites were pull through and others were back in. Most sites have at least electric and some are water/electric. Some sites are also 50amp. There is also a dump on site.

All sites are $25/night. Payment is on an honor system and drop cash into an envelope in a box near the entrance. The park says that it is under surveillance, but we did not see cameras. We saw one Toole County Sheriff's Deputy drive through the park while we were there.

I think we counted a total of five other rigs staying the night with us. If you have kids there's a playground nearby and a baseball field. There are also several walking trails.

We would definitely stay here again if we take the same route to Canada. Very convenient and quiet!
