Great park. Stayed in Old Prairie campground. Not much room between sites, although sites are fairly roomy. Lots of trees, so good shade, but tall rigs need to watch overhead. Bathhouse extremely clean & well-provisioned. Would have preferred a separate, private dressing area instead of a common one for the 2 shower stalls, but since OP is a relatively small campground, I was the only one using the shower both times I used it.

Great campground with many things to do. Awesome trails for hiking and riding your bike. They also have a pool but it is currently closed due to Covid19. The camping sites are nice and separated but some do flood with heavy rain.

Does it have sewage hook up

Johnny Darley | Aug 27, 2018
Clif Glass | Aug 27, 2018

I agree with Donnie, there really needs to be several dump stations. However, if you are going to be camping during the week i am sure it will not be a problem at all. Its really just a major issue on Sunday morning when everyone is trying to get out. I have waited almost 3 hours before to get my turn. Luckily now i have a hookup where i can discharge at home if there is too long of a wait. However the park is beautiful, and i would not discourage you fron going there jusy because of that reason.
