What a GEM!

This is a beautiful spot to land for a night or more. Quiet, we're the only people here and the host said that's usually the case. $15 a night with 110 extension cord power - can't beat that! The water here tastes good, there are several frost free hydrants for use. Beautiful playground if you have kids. And the store the host owns has basic necessities. The park is beautifully kept. We explored the area - close to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit and National Grasslands. Lots of trees for shade. The little store is open and has and diesel are actually priced competitively.
