Hand-pumped well water and vault toilets serve 18 sites spread across three loops at this grassland recreation area. The campground sits 16 miles from the nearest store, requiring campers to pack everything they need for their stay. Sites feature sheltered picnic tables and fire rings, with pack-in, pack-out waste policies in effect.
Reviewers note the area rarely fills to capacity, providing consistent access to the small lake. Always C. found the facilities "clean and very nicely done with sheltered picnic tables." The remote location eliminates Verizon cell service entirely. Campers can access sites by vehicle, boat, or on foot, with the day-use area housing the hand pump water source.
Night skies offer clear stargazing opportunities in this sparsely populated region. The $10 nightly use fee covers basic amenities without hookups or modern conveniences. For additional options in the broader region, campers can explore camping near Little Missouri National Grassland. The grassland setting provides direct lake access for those seeking water-based activities alongside traditional tent and RV camping.
