Affordable city park camping
This is just another small city park offering minimal services for$10-15 a night(depending on which sign you read), using the iron ranger system. It’s at the far end of a city park with a lumpy, root filled, grass covered hill in the middle with a few(6 I think) RV sites around the outside edge backing up to a public use biking/running trail. I think tents are supposed to be pitched on that hill, but I shared a site with a German cross country biker. The site we used was level, set against the trees(we could use my car to block the front and get some privacy, and clean. The grass was in need of cutting, and a brush hog would have done the place some good. The bathroom was filthy, and the sinks weren’t working. It was so bad that we walked down to the ballfields and used the bathrooms there(which were MUCH cleaner, and had working taps). There was a movie being shown on the other side of the city park that we could hear from our campsite, but we didn’t bother to walk down to see what it was. My German friend had walked down to the city pool where the local fire department was training and asked about showers. They were not accommodating, although they did say that during normal operating hours the pool had showers. Hope you bring ear plugs as you will hear the trains at night.
