Iowa interstates have free dump stations (most, not all), which we appreciate. The cover was missing from this one, so they had a metal strap across the opening, which made dumping less than ideal. Probably for liability purposes. No hoses to rinse - you supply your own. But free. Free is good.

We drove by and the gates were locked and there was a closed sign.

Website indicates closed for 2022 season.

Looks like a nice option.

This is nice FHU RV park, very well run with gracious hosts. It’s been under new management for exactly one year and the owner is doing a great job of making sure each stay is a good one. The individual shower rooms are very clean and spacious with plenty of hot water. Sites are level pull-throughs that include a picnic table.
We will definitely return.

We had planned to stay here, but the first thing we noticed was the dust being kicked up by those driving through. It also appears there are several sites occupied by workers. The actual sites are just spots on the grass with power. No trees. It literally backed up to the railroad tracks.
We decided to move on.

We stopped to book a site based on reviews and could not stay here. It’s like a parking lot of an abandoned building. I had called in advance to make reservations and was told I did not need to. Thank you to the person who answered the phone and told me that. No one was there and I can see why. Laundry closed, which was the only reason we considered this place. We moved on.

We stopped for the night on our way through to the Yukon. There are three loops spread out alongside Blackstrap Lake. We were in the furthest loop from the entrance station. Our long site had nice separation from our neighbors and trees for shade, with a water spigot across the road and throughout the campground. During the evening a nice breeze off the lake cooled things off. There is a dump station in two of the loops, showers and small restroom/washrooms with running water, a playground and a beach area. There was a water park with food concessions. Power was 30amp and 15 amp only. Each site had a picnic table, charcoal grill but no fire ring. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We would definitely return.

Cell service through TELUS with Verizon was four bars LTE

Full hookups, very tight sites. We snagged the last small site and were happy to get it. All of the campgrounds in the area were full, including reserved and first-come national forest campgrounds. The picnic tables are child size (as stated by other reviewers). Sites are gravel and ours was a tight fit between two trees. What else can I say? We have a place to sleep and we’re in West Yellowstone.

This was a nice, quiet little campground off US 2 enough that there were no traffic noises and a faint train whistle sporadically. Sites are well spaced with trees and enough privacy that we could see our neighbor’s trailer, but it was angled such that we had privacy. Both 30 and 50 amp available. There were some bothersome flies that didn’t bite. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Saturday and there were four sites available. Site 2 was level enough that we did not have to unhook.

This is a very nice, quiet and well-maintained state Forest campground. It is reached by an unpaved road which can be pretty dusty when dry. There are three loops with some of the sites in each loop having water access and we had no problem getting a site on the water mid-week. We were able to leave our canoe at the water’s edge on our site. The sites are also large with plenty of room for any size RV, although the actual loops can be tight for larger rigs. Bathrooms were pit toilets that were clean and each loop had two. Potable water is available at a centrally located hand pump. A picnic area and walking trail was also available.

There was also a campground host, but he pretty much kept to himself.

We’ve driven through this campground in the past and promised ourselves that one day we would stay here. We are not disappointed in this quiet National Forest campground. Great site, right on Lake Superior and if you score a set on the lake side of the campground you have your own private beach. Gracious campground hosts made it a pleasant stay. We will be back.
