Recharge Lake

Caleb Stern

I’ve been to Minnesota, Colorado, and other states with beautiful lakes, but this lake takes the cake. It is a must stop if you a big fishing person or kayaking.

A little urban park at the reservoir with cheap, reservationless camping including RV. Seemed well organized and clean, minimal services. No shade, period, so bring your own. Didn't stay overnight so can't comment on how rowdy it might be.

This place is a real gem, big spacious sites, electricity, water nearby, and a big beautiful concrete pad to park and put your RV on. It is such a bargain. It's close to i-80 but I never noticed the road noise, but I did notice train noise, a lot, but I like it, it doesn't bother me. So convenient to i-80. I not only would come here again but I would seek it out.

I was looking for a stopover point traveling from Minnesota to Colorado on 5/5/2021, and did a search on camping in the York area and was intrigued by this campground. I arrived at sundown not knowing exactly what I would find, and was delighted. This campground is very pleasant and extremely well-maintained. It is not very large at 19 sites, and is first-come/first-served only, which worked out fine for me at this time of the year. It has many facilities, including the small lake, a swimming area, a fishing pier, a boat launch, picnic tables and shelters, trails, and both RV and tent camping at very reasonable prices. There is a modern restroom (no showers) and a pit toilet, both very clean. I enclosed a photo interior of the pit toilet building, which is in the tent area. I was looking specificlly for tent camping. The tent camping area is an open grassy area surrounded by pines, with a water spigot and individual fire rings. I spent a windy night in my tent admiring the clear view of the stars above. I didn't put my rain fly on because no rain was forecast. But it had rained earlier in the day and things were still pretty wet from that, I ended up setting my tent in the bed of my truck in the tent area parking lot. I was the only tent camper there, so this worked out fine. There were lot of birds around and they were singing cheerfully in the morning. This location has an interesting history and I commend those who decided to utilize this space for a recreation area. The only significant downside to this facility is its proximity to a railroad track and a busy road, both visible from the tent campground. They were maybe a mile or so away. These are both quite busy and generate a lot of noise, especially the trains. This is most evident at night -- I highly recommend ear plugs, especially if you're in a tent or RV with thin walls. I slept OK wearing mine. Because of that, I am giving the campground 4 rather than 5 stars. It's a location situation, the campground itself is great!
