This facility is named after the Chisholm Trail, a trail used to transport cattle from Texas ranches to Kansas railroads in the late 1800s.

Stunning Views
We did not stay here but it looks to be a few more sites than the one across the lake.
This trail has absolutely amazing views and worth the stop.
I’m glad we stopped before leaving the area.

Nice campground
Stopped here a couple times for overnights. A little off my travel route, but it's well worth it. Very nice and it's never crowded.
