Very nice overnite spot

Water and electric with pad and picnic tables and trees for $20! Also some tent sites. Nice place for an evening or morning walk to stretch legs around rodeo arena, between baseball fields and then around and small pond. Self serve payment envelopes. A handful of other campers around the CG that has about 16 (?) sites

Early Spring Camping

Quit park, full electric pad, and water. The bathrooms and shower were not open yet. Locked my keys in the truck. The O’Neill Police opened my truck, within 20 minutes. I noticed they also patrolled the area.

Great One Night Stay

We had a great one night stay when we were passing through O’Neil on our way to South Dakota. Cute town, ok bath house and a cute play park with swings, etc. Quiet at night. The road into the campground was a little busy during the day due to the construction on the main road into town. The campground road connects to other parts of town. Would stay here again but only for one night probably. It was great having electric and water hookup.

Small quiet city campsite with concrete pad. Bathrooms needed cleaning

One night stay as driving home.  Flush toilet with W/E hookup. They are doing road construction and they have road completely torn up and one way section of road into campground.  Quiet for one night. We ate dinner and then breakfast in city as convenient.  Nice small campground.
