With just two sites and 30-amp electric plus water hookups, Chester Municipal Park provides free camping in a compact setting. The municipal campground features large cottonwood trees that shade the sites, along with a pavilion equipped with picnic tables. Sites accommodate RVs up to 30 feet and remain level enough that many campers don't need to unhook their vehicles.
The park includes standard amenities like restrooms, showers, and a dump station, though one reviewer notes the electrical service runs at 50 amps rather than the listed 30. Located in a quiet area where campers often find themselves the only occupants even during holiday weekends, the campground works well for camping near Republic travelers seeking an overnight stop with full hookups at no cost.
