Nice spot

I just dropped by today for a look see. The place looks quite nice. Picnic tables and tent pads on crushed rock probably 1/4-. I couldn’t find where to park.

Excellent tent option & good RV spots

Gorgeous view. Nicely maintained area with picnic tables and campfire pits (there was a burn ban while we were here), but you could do a propane fire. We are the only people here!

Siteafter 6pm so we parked in the ADA spot next to the bathrooms (per rules)

Super pretty

Good for a quick stop on your way to a next destination! Rocky in some parts but the cliffs are quite a view and daring!

Decent place in a whim

Interesting spot at the bottom of the coulee. Windy, as is everything in Vantage. Walk in spots. Walk-in is about 100 yards. Quiet. Some wild life. Frogs and sheep. Good place to drop in and find a spot last minute depending on the day and time of year. Tent spots are nice bordered with pea gravel. Level and flat. Fire pits. Big metal picnic tables. No shade!! And it does get very hot, even though there is some lake effect. Great views. Water is accessible. Not necessarily easily accessible from every camp spot. You may have to walk your SUP board around up to a spot to put in.

Bighorn sheep abound

Great little campsite near the petrified forest. Windy the day we were there - but beautiful location near river. We had a large herd of bighorn sheep as pre dusk visitors which was great to admire. Camp was clean with tidy restrooms. Only downsides were occasional noise from I-90 and some late night traffic / campers pulling into area after midnight. For $10- a great place.
