Very nice
Not attached to a local park, so literally just a campground. Having said that, it's very nice. The bathrooms are new, clean, well maintained. And the park has amenities that you need for camping.

Quite the collection
If you like older things, this is the place. The camp spots are fairly close together but have full hook ups for mechanics who come and stay to work on the tractors. There are also houses, libraries, clocks, school house, church and loads of tractors and old equipment to see.

Carrington City Campground
City Park Camping
There are 9 spots for R VS with water and electric. The formal bathroom seems to be locked and closed, and out of commission, and there are porta potties around. The park is extensive multiple baseball fields. Lots of children's equipment lots of covered picnic tables.

Foster County Glenfield City Park
Inexpensive overnight stop
I don't think this is used for camping very often. Probably just people visiting folks in town. There are flush toilets, no showers, no dumpstation and I didn't see anything that allowed you to have fires. I did find thirty app service or just plain electric plugins and I think you kind of just park wherever.
