Hot with lake access

This is in a pretty nice state park with lake access. With all the fees, price comes out to around $45 for a basic site and pit toilets. Overall, I don’t think it’s a great value. Sites are close together and there’s not much shade.

Great views, fishing, Dinosaur Trail

We had a nice spot with shelter. A lot of spots are hard to level a RV on so chose one you can level your rig on. No hookups, no potable water available. Vault tiolets in numerous places. Dogs ok but have to be leashed. Kids enjoyed hiking Dinosaur Trail and exploring. Lots if fishing spots. Very scenic. $10 a night, pay kiosk.
