Decent campground with excellent trout fishing! The campground layout was kinda weird and the dump station was in an odd spot. However, we had a nice river front site that we really enjoyed. Lots of nice people in the campground and on the river. Be sure to visit the hatchery across the street. . Limited AT&T service. Individual Private suite style bathrooms. Playground. No store, no firewood for sale. Level sites. Several sites have covers over the picnic tables. .
We had to change plans last minute and arrive here on short notice. They had sites to accommodate us and they were very welcoming. This was hands down the nicest privately owned rv park/campground we have ever stayed at! The bathroom suites have recently been remodeled and they are so nice! Best shower of our 10 day road trip. Nice laundry facilities, community rec room, hot tub, and even a hiking trail to the top of the mountain. Highly recommend.
Just stayed here as our Basecamp for our RMNP adventures. This has moved to the top of my list of favorite campsites! Some sites are smaller, but several are good size and spaces far enough apart for the perfect amount of privacy. The vault toilets were the cleanest we have ever seen! Basically no cell service unless the wind blew just right. Also, they do charge an additional $15 to use the dump station. That felt like a rip off considering what we already paid to stay here with no services, but wasn’t much we could do about it.
We only picked this location based on our cross country road trip. We only needed one night, but had to pay for two nights (it was on a weekend, but this place was no where near full, so the demand isn’t there to warrant a 2 night requirement). On top of that, we had to pay another $5 just to enter the park to get to our campsite. Campers near us looked like they were living there full time. The sites in the grass by the lake seemed to be much nicer when we drove by. Our gravel site was filled with any hills and micro trash. Campers 2 sites down from us was full of kids throwing their empty caprisun drinks on the ground (not the parks fault). Also the bathrooms are extremely dated and gross. Not sure what they are using the entrance fee for, but it doesn’t appear to be for upkeep.
We booked here last minute on a holiday weekend and we were thankful they had a spot for us! The campground parking area is just that. It’s a place to park for the night, with full hook ups. No wifi. The location can’t be beat! Views are incredible! The bath house was clean. There is a store and restaurant in property. They also have cabins to rent. . My only complaint…this is a dark sky area with expansive views of the sky and the opportunity to see the Milky Way. This is not something g I get to see at home! However, all the giant campers had their bright lights on at night and it really messed with viewing of the sky. I wish there was a rule of no outside lights at night. It’s unnecessary! If you are one of those people that leave your lights on when you go in for the night, please reconsider!
We camped here while in town for a concert. I love a good riverside campground! The view was great. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to fish. The campground layout was interesting… Some sites were normal, but then some seemed like they were parking spots on a gravel lot. We got lucky and had a good site because I used someone’s drive thru YouTube video to help select a site. Our site was still edited because it was down a small side turn off, but it wasn’t a loop, so you had to completely back your camper down the road a couple of sites to get it when leaving.
Loved being able to camp so close to the creek! The campsites weren’t anything special, but it is perfect for a weekend getaway. The lower campground does not have a bathroom, have to walk to the hill. The bathrooms were clean, but the shower house is basically like taking an outdoor shower. They do sell wood, ice and have a small selection of items inside the office. The location is great and the river is gorgeous making this a place would would definitely return to.
We arrived after hours. Had a bit of trouble finding our campsite because the number was missing from ours. I do like the coded entry to the bathrooms and common use areas. Nice laundry room, game room and kitchen that can be used by guests. There was a good bit of road noise but that was to be expected being so close to the interstate. There did appear to be a lot of long term residents staying here. It was fine for a one night stay passing through.
I love camping inside the National Parks! This campground has a good mix of electric, primitive and walk in. We had a site with electric that was 2 sites down from the bathrooms. Bathroom building also had an outdoor sink for dishwashing. Campground is convenient to being able to walk to town for dinner or the visitors center to catch the shuttles. The views can’t be beat!
This might be one of the coolest state park campsites ever! Being tucked away in the giant rocks was awesome! Easy walking distance to the pit toilets. Site was very unlevel, but thankfully someone dug a shallow “hole” that worked for us to put our back tire in and it made our camper level. Thankful for the covered picnic tables as well. No hook ups was fine with me as I enjoy primitive camping. Atlatl campground has a bathhouse with showers to use.
What a cool place in the middle of a flat area of OK. The guys at the check in office were super nice. Our campsite was clean and within a reasonable walking distance to the bathroom. Showers are individual stalls, but separate from the toilet section of the bathhouse. The park is fun to explore and the camping areas are broken up so that you don’t feel crowded. Would definitely return here again if in the area.
We were traveling across country and needed a place close to the interstate to stop for the night. We were given clear instructions on how to arrive after hours. The campground had a wonderful view of some mountains and was conveniently located to the meteor crater. . I love the fact that this campground has trees!! That was a huge bonus. . The sites are level and offers lots of pull thrus. . My favorite part: The Bathhouse! It was so nice to have a private bathroom that felt like I was at home. . Bonus: They give a coupon for a discounted entry to the meteor crater. We arrived as soon as they opened and it was totally worth the stop!
Beautiful state park with awesome hiking trails! The campground was just ok. No water hook ups, but you can fill your tank and there is a dump station. Sadly, there is no visitors center.
The center of the campground has sites that either back up to the. Amp ground road or back up to the campsite behind you. They are pretty close together. Great for groups camping together. Not so great if you want a little bit of privacy. We had one of the few semi private sites. Will definitely return to camp and hike here again!
We did not stay here, but they allowed us to use their dump station for a $5 fee so we had the chance to take a look around. This is a great option if you cannot get a site inside the park or if you want hook ups. They have several different styles of sites from tent sites to full hook ups and cabins. Some sites were in the sun, but lots of sites had shade trees.
We had what we (and the camp host) considers the best site in the whole campground! The views are incredible! We saw the wild horses from camp every single day. No bison, but saw plenty in the park. . This campground has very limited services. There is a water filling station across from the camp host and also several other water filling sites throughout the campground. There is no dump station for RV’s so we pod $5 to use the one at Medora Campground in town. There is a newer bathroom facility in the middle of the campground with several trails that lead to it, but I just can’t believe that they didn’t include a shower! So many people tent camping that I was extremely surprised by this. . Tip: use Google maps to “drive thru” this campground to see what your site looks like ahead of time if it is important to you.
We stayed here one night as we were just passing through. The park is really nice and the playgrounds are the nicest I have ever seen! I even had to take my turn on the swings and down the slide. . The new campground is nice with full hook ups, however this is not your normal state park style camping. This is full on RV parking lot with campers stacked on top of each other. I’m never a fan of sitting at my picnic table to eat 8 foot away from someone dumping their sewer tanks. That’s the only con I see here. Luckily we had one of the end sites.
We pulled in after a last minute decision to drive to the Badlands on a holiday weekend. They had one site left with electric hook ups. Lucky for us, our camper is small so we fit into the site. It was an end site with a view of the Badlands! . The guy who checked us in was extremely nice! The facilities were great and the location to the Badlands can’t be beat for being outside of the park. . Bonus: They had a swimming pool and also a small cafe that served breakfast. We did not eat, but glad the option was there.
Beautiful, well maintained campground. Lots of different site to include pull thru, back in, walk in tent sites and a group site. New bathroom on site. Walking distance to the cannonball creations. There is also a dump station here unlike Cottonwood Camp in the South unit.
The scenery here is incredible! Beautiful views from the campground. Also there is a really awesome disc golf course. I don’t play, but I want to play here!
We did not stay here, but I snapped a few photos from the other side of the riverbank. Posting because we were just passing through and I wanted to share the pics.
