Discovered this gem of a stop using Boondockers Welcome Oct/2019. The sites are paved, level, E/W/S available for a small fee if that’s the way you travel. Hosts are diligent, friendly and have a great vision for this new endeavour of theirs. Park is in a country setting, far enough away from I-40 that there is no highway noise. We’re now travelling back to Ontario and are reserving again. This will continue to be a stop on our way to the SouthWest.

After reading the previous reviewer, we couldn't believe the state of this area. No signage to indicate it was a park and where (or how) we should pay, most of the electrical boxes were broken (and may have been live with front covers removed), ramadas rusted and broken, fencing along edge of ravine off the lake was in disrepair - loose wire protruding from metal pipe frame, garbage strewn around. There was one permanent looking trailer but never saw a person (thought it might have been a host). We had planned to stay 7 nights and because of the poor conditions of E/W sites, pulled into an area for primitive camping overlooking the lake. We ended up staying 2 nights, but just couldn't stay any longer - creepy, so in disrepair and garbage strewn about - felt unsafe.

Must have been an off day - no one in office, envelopes in box were wet, only long term campers. Fair reviews here but didn’t wait to register as lots were narrow. Benson was just down the road.
