Quaint but pricey

This is basically a little RV park adjacent to a museum and playground. Points for character. It’s off the main drag and there are not a lot of choices in the area. Big lawn is well watered. However, I can’t get behind the prices. $14 just to pitch a tent is steep. Bathrooms are filthy, shower (behind a ragged shower curtain) is not worth paying for.

Decent sites with full hook ups

Right beside a cow pasture, so that’s cool. Not to hard to level, but kind of tight on some corners for my 30’ motor home.

Visitors appreciate its convenient in-town location, clean facilities, fresh water access, and the adjacent playground and museum that add character. The well-maintained, watered lawn and available shade trees are highlighted positives. However, some concerns include the $14 tent camping fee being considered steep for the basic offerings, bathroom cleanliness issues, tight navigation for larger RVs (30+ feet), and the generally basic, not particularly scenic setting. The park is noted as being functional rather than destination-worthy, but serves well as a convenient stopover option in an area with limited alternatives.
