Noisy and insane bugs

We are avid campers, we are no strangers to all the things that come with camping including bugs. That said, the amount of mosquitoes here made any amount of time outside unbearable.

There was a lot of traffic through the campsite, not even people stopping to camp but literally just driving through, music blaring at 11pm.

And the GPS coordinates were wrong. They are closer to 40.63093° N, 96.57335° W

Campground cruisers.

Stayed 3 days in the main campground, there are also more dispersed areas at this place with nice grassy area. Level gravel pads and easy manoeuvering with 29ft TT, 30/15a electric, only 3-4 spots with water hookup which are taken. Water is available to fill tanks. Although I do not fish, there are fishing areas. Camp areas along the water we're almost fully occupied but we chose to stay on the opposite side for more grassy room to play/separate the dog, I did not find any dog mess and clean up after mine. Fire rings with the typical icky grill and decent picnic tables, I did not use any of the B/R. Overall not a bad spot, but, The roads around this area are almost all gravel including the main strip through the camp area so you'll have to find your way around to minimize time on gravel, I traveled through Hickman for this and to get firewood at the hardware store, it seems none is available here. Lots of traffic in and out Kicking up dust all day even at early am hours, lots of vehicles and they drive fast. There are no reservations. I don't think I'll be back here.😕

This was a pretty neat spot. The trees were a bit small, but they had to replant due to a storm. You should go check it out here. It is really nice and clean
