We ran into some unfortunate weather so didn't get the full experience. But… This is a very cute, unique spot that I'd love to try again sometime.
Host was very nice and met us to check in and give the campground details. We paid for firewood ahead of time and it was delivered to the site before we got there. Porta potties seemed like they were cleaned pretty often.
Our site was a little bit of a hike from the parking lot and it took a couple of trips to get everything to the site (along with the dog). The carts they provided helped, but I think I'll pick a closer site next time.
The photos make it seem like most of the sites provide cover, but I think there's only 3 or so with a shelter. Something to keep in mind, would've been helpful during the rainy night.
Loved this place! We stayed in a tent only site, tucked in the middle of the trees. We had a ton of room to decide our camp site layout. The trees are gorgeous and felt so peaceful.
The campground host was very friendly and helpful. We picked up some firewood at the marina. They give you quite a bit in a $10 box.
Because our site was in the middle of the trees, we didn't have a parking spot right at the site. We had to carry everything from the road, which was only a short walk but worth being aware of.
Wish we had more time, I will definitely be back!
This place has been on our bucket list for a few years. We didn't get to camp there, but hiked a couple of the trails. It's definitely worth the visit!
The Garden of the Gods Observation Trail was a short, easy hike with some amazing scenic views.
The wilderness has several other hikes, but we also ended up doing the Indian Point Loop Trail. This one still had great views and lots to explore, but was way more private and peaceful. We saw only one other group the whole time we were out there.
I would definitely recommend both!
Only stayed one night during our road trip. Lake was really beautiful and our campsite was in a great location. We stayed in a tent in one of the Coneflower primative spots. We had a great view, a little shade and a trail down to the lake. Bathrooms were decent, but very hot. Breeze off the lake was perfect but we had to secure the tent pretty good to keep it from blowing away.
The marina sells firewood, ice, and other goodies. Staff were all very friendly.
We will definitely come back here when we have more time!
Stayed one night as well drove across the country. Nice peaceful campground tucked back not far from the city. Primitive sites were mostly empty and we had plenty of room. Wish we had more time but I'd stop by again.
Nice quite spot secluded off the beaten path. Campsites have plenty of room and give you options to be along the creek or tucked back in the trees. We had a huge spot on the end and hardly saw the other campers. Dog friendly. Office staff were very helpful. You can buy firewood along with many other supplies in the camp store.
Only complaints are that it's a little pricy for just staying in a tent. You do have water and electric in each site. Also, the bathrooms could definitely use an update but we're camping so didn't mind it too much.
Super close to some really great hiking trails. We'll be back!
Put your phone away cuz there's no cell service here! Nice and peaceful with a dozen or so tent only sites. We got a nice one tucked back in the trees, but a few of them are pretty close to the road - not like it's terribly busy. There's a creek along the outside and a nice easy hiking trail that follows it. I'd definitely go back again!
Quick one night stop along our road trip. Decent tent sites, standard ones are definitely more private than those with electric and water. Nice spot along the creek, but had other campers cutting through our site throughout the night. Overall decent experience.
First time in Kansas, had a quick one night stop during our road trip. This was a gorgeous lake tucked not far from the highway. The tent only sites were totally empty and we were the only ones in the loop. Gorgeous view, just up the bank from a small beach. Self check in was easy and the bathrooms were clean. Only complaint is that it got very buggy at night, but that's what you get for a spot so close to the water. I'd definitely come back again!
State parks were full so we stopped over in Laramie. Originally planned on a tent site but once we saw how open the tent space was, we decided to grab a dog friendly cabin instead. It was cozy with air conditioning and a mini fridge. Kind of a weird location between a neighborhood and hotels.. but it did the trick. Nice community fire pit for us to relax next to in the evening. Staff were friendly and helpful and bathrooms were clean.
First time to Indiana with a quick trip to the Dunes. We were disappointed the state park was full but found this campground close by. The tent sites were very private as we were the only ones there for the night. Plenty of space tucked among the trees. Bathrooms seemed newer and were very clean. The only thing that disappointed us was the lack of COVID precautions. No mask worn by the office worker or wiping down of desk or credit card machine. Would still recommend for the future.
This was a wonderful spot to visit during our trip across the country. The pet friendly cabin was a cozy air conditioned break from the August heat. The location is great and feels tucked away every though it isn't far from the highway. The staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend!
