Previous reviews have been mostly Nov-Apr off-season. As we are here in July, I can report that the dirt road beyond the cattle gate is rutted, but firm. There are plenty of suitably level places to pull off and set up camp. Just look for tire tracks in the well grazed grassland. We used 4WD on our truck camper, but it wasn’t really necessary. We are here all alone tonight except for a herd of cattle 1/4 mile away, and an abundance of grasshoppers. Road noise is minimal. This is a really nice option for a self-contained overnight stay when you’re headed this way. You can walk near the dirt road in sandals, but if you get much away from it you’ll probably want boots. AT&T coverage is a solid four bars, but it’s 3G, which is not one of the options in the menu.

I came here as sort of a Plan C when two other stops didn’t pan out. I’d read the previous reviews, which gave me some pause, but under the circumstances, water and electricity were my main priorities.

While I cannot deny or minimize the other reviews, what I can say is that if you have an AT&T phone, it’s four bars. I am working and streaming the news about the Royal succession in the UK. There is also park WiFi.

Also, I can confirm how most of the long pull-thru sites are packed in like horse stalls in a barn. It’s right over there, and they’re mostly full. But if you’re in a tent or a truck camper or a Class B van less than about 28 ft, I have good news!

Along the east side of the park, adjacent to a small brook, there are seven tent sites and four back-in RV sites with water and power (61,63,66,68). These are wide and grassy and shady, and really quite lovely.
