GuideNice Trails
Dump station OOC until summer '24, but surprisingly pleasant campground otherwise.
GuideNice State Campground
Nice campground for an overnight. Probably wouldn't stay more than a day or so. Not much to do and see.
Pros - Clean bathrooms and showers, hot showers, wheelchair accessible showers and bathrooms, electrical and water at each site, each site has a nice pavilion with wind block, picnic table and grill. Nice playground for the kids, Dumpsters available. There are some pull through sites. Sites are asphalt. Both reserveable and first come sites 2 primitive camp areas. Nice lake.
Cons - Very windy, not much to do at the campground. Gave me time to read a good book.

LegendWhere is the lake?
Nice desert shaped park. When there is water I am sure it's wonderful. Without it's a good stop.
