    Potable water and trash cans at this free campground

    There are trash cans and a water spigot at this free campground. It's nice and large where you can park a 40-foot RV if you'd like, even longer. And the state is 14 days.

    No gray water dump site. Use Love's instead. The dirt road coming in is a bit slippery when wet. We slid all over the road, but there's no potholes.

    Perfect

    It was not far off the highway but no road noise. Great place for a free overnight camp.

    Easy Place to Camp

    Not far from the highway but not too loud. Lots of picnic tables and fire pits, space for tents next to the lake and below the dam (walk over the knoll behind the playground). Clean pit toilet and water pump. Woke up to cheery birdsong.

    Nice stop for the night

    We stopped here on our way west on I-80. There was no one here when we arrived around 4:30 PM. Our 30-foot Class A with a towed car fit easily, but I'm glad we got the first spot. A few people came and went to fish or play at the park, and we shared the parking lot with a fifth wheel at night. Overall, a quiet place to park for the night.

    Easily accessible and still quiet

    Great site! Big campsites on a small lake, nice and quiet but only 20 min off the hwy. Good latrines, potable water, and trash bins.
