We arrived midday and picked a spot in the dispersed camping along the lake. There were two other rvs on the lake but we never saw anyone go in or come out. It was very windy so we couldn’t do a fire but we did see a few stacked rock fire rings. We walked up to the playground and our 3 year old loved it! There was a bathroom on our way up to the playground but it was closed. The porta-potties were not very clean but the pit toilets by the playground were not too bad. There were a few geese that came by our door in the morning while we were eating breakfast. One of the big male geese charged at my daughter so we just kept our distance from them.

We checked in around 3pm before going to the national park. They only had tent sites available which worked out better for us because we didn’t need hookups. The tent sites had amazing views of the valley and the sand dunes! The roads to the tent sites were pretty rough and it was difficult to find a site that was level. There was a level site we found but it had 3 tombstones on it so we decided to pass on that site… We found another that was pretty level and had an amazing view! We were between the tent restrooms and the RV restrooms. The tent restrooms were in an old converted train car up the hill. They were very clean. The RV bathroom was a bit of a walk from the tent sites but we made the trek to use the showers. My 3 year old loved the playground that was by the RV sites and she played until the sun set. Then we made the trek back up to the tent area and had a peaceful night sleep.
