Bugs! But... Bar!
Yeah as one reviewer noted, there is no lack of flying insects to accost you. Probably more bugs than I have ever seen in recent memory. Dodge the bugs by going to the kickass little bar down the road!
A place to sleep off of highway 2
Stayed one night, 10/15/22 on a road trip out to the Midwest. It was dark when we pulled in, hard to see the landscape/campground sites, but we found one right on the edge of the reservoir. There were multiple other RVs already set up, hunters mostly this time of year. Vault toilet, picnic table and fire pit at the campsite and some trees. Not very many trees between campsites, so don’t expect too much privacy. It was very windy the night we stayed. But it was free, close the highway 2, and open all year long. I saw no trash services or water but that could be the time of year. Very close off highway 2, maybe a 3 minute drive past the sleeping Buffalo hotsprings.
Free and Gorgeous
This place is awesome as long as you don't mind voracious mosquitos! No hookups. No designated sites. Pit toilets. Beautiful area. Fire rings. Nice launch for boats. No water at all on site, so fill up your tank before you go. No dump station. About a mile away from Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs.
