GuideQuiet and easy to get to from road. Got crowded as the evening went on but plenty of room for all
RangerA handful of spots, some with fire rings. Easy in/out. Camping is only 5 mins down the dirt road that is very good for 2WD. So the hike to the petroglyphs, it’s 1 mile RT.
ScoutFound level spot just off the road. Not gorgeous, but nice distant views. Perfect for overnight.
GuideThis KOA is daily straight forward. Has everything you will need. Laundry only had on machine working but I was able to get all mine done while we were here. Has a game room with a family room area and a large TV. We were able to ride our side by side from this location right onto the Arapeen trail. The main office will give you a simple map on how to get there and they also sell the trail maps for $10.50. Wanted to use the pool but it was closed for the season.
ScoutThere are tons of spots to choose from, and it always felt very safe. Lots of people with ATV’s and dirtbikes but not loud at all.
GuidePlenty of space for any camper. tents to fifth wheels. The night I camped 9/20/25 there were about a dozen vehicles.
ScoutIt was great for a quick stop close to two Maverick truck stops. Restaurants and tourist attractions. Industrial trucks up and down the main road but not very bothers. Able to let the dogs from free.
RangerTh little nook at the top of the fork provides nice privacy, so felt lucky timing afforded it to me, but ample pull offs along the way ensured there would have been a spot to park. Very busy all along the forest road, though. Lots of cows (and thus manure to drive through some beware if you’re headed toward areas with flies, etc.) The leaves were changing and it was brilliant.
ScoutThe campground is nice, we stayed in 16 which is at the upper end. No traffic noise other than people going to and from the private property behind. Gold medal fishing water below the dam.
