Remote camping with plenty of wildlife to see

A remote location and popular with horse campers and hunters.  The campground has sites with horse corrals installed. The campground was quiet and mostly clean. There are pit toilets on site and well maintained. Level spots with good separation. Nice hiking accross some flat lands and a smal creek runs near by. Early one morning we saw a herd of elk down in a valley near a turn out off the road.  Bears frequent the area trying to raid the garbage bins during the night. Makes tent camping a bit unnerving. If you want to explore the area, this is good place to camp.  It takes an hour to get to the campsite on a graveled road off the highway out of Cimerron.  25mph was best speed to go to handle the washboard road to the campsite.

Quiet and well maintained

This campground has roomy camp sites and all are well groomed. Camp host is present during open season. Sites were $10 per day and are reservable. Fire rings are in each site. Pets are allowed. There is good hiking areas to take you to many canyons and none of the trails are very steep.

Large Graveled Lot with Plenty of Spaces

Facility Hosts are friendly and helpful. This is not really a campground but rather an RV parking area with all hookups available. It is located about 50 yards off of I-90 and traffic noise is pretty significant during the day but infrequent during late night.  There are plenty of spaces in a large graveled lot and wide level spots.  We called ahead 2 months before and made our reservation for our stay. We were able to pick our spot when we arrived. Hook-ups are good with water, electrical and sewer.  They have 3 bathrooms at the facility, each with a shower.  In addition there is a laundry room with a couple of washers and one dryer.  Don't expect to set up a campfire and gather around since there is no fire ring available at any site.  There are few trees for some shade in the late afternoon.  Fortunately, it was a cloudy day and temps were cool while we stayed.  There are no group sites at this facility.
