Great spot right off the main road. Water and electric hookup and sewer dump station that is open 8-6.l for $5 extra dollars. Little shop has ice cream and extras. No toilet paper at the shop though.

Nice trees around the sites. Great views of the mountains. Close enough to town that you can walk. Two dollars for a shower and five to use the dump station. Clean and quiet when we were there in November.

Have stayed here many times and never been disappointed. Clean bathrooms, showers: Hot water is coin activated $2 for 7 min shower. Grounds well kept, green and lots of trees. Some spots have more shade than others. Not all spots have a fire pit. Staff is GREAT! Friendly and helpful. Little town/museum in front and store are nice to explore. Whether passing through or staying a while, this campground is where you want to stay!

The hookup sites were all taken, and I will be forever grateful. The dry camping area was almost empty, nice and grassy, dappled sunshine or full sun, with adequate showers and bathrooms. However, if the dry camping area was full it would be almost as crowded as the hookup spots. The hookup spots were typical RV, side-by-side and very close together. My rate was for the dry camping. Dropped one star because of the incredibly dusty road. A little bit of gravel would go a long way in making it more pleasant when people drive by.

Really nice RV park. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Rigs are packed in a little on the tight side, but that’s not unusual for this type of park. Seems to be a fisherman’s favorite... only downside is that there’s no pool or hot tub facilities. Sites have water and power but no sewer connections... there is an on-site dump station available at extra cost, showers are also an added fee... $2 for seven minutes of hot water. I’d happily stay here again next time I’m passing through.
Be sure to visit LAWS RAILROAD MUSEUM north of town if you have any interest in railroad or old time stuff.

Stayed here several times over the years. In tents, trailer and big rigs. Very green. Lots of trees and grass. Bountiful views. Only downside is they only have 30amp service. Both old fashioned ice cream and tap beer! In their general store.

Clean and well maintained, the tent sites are shaded with mature trees and the grounds are mostly grass with some sandy soil (no fine dust). Sites are very close together, but almost all of them have a water tap at the site (close enough to run a hose if you need to). We camped here upon arrival for one night before heading up into the hills in our Jeep and Turtleback trailer, and it was a perfect spot for a quick overnight with a hot shower, level parking and easy in and out. Would I stay here for a week? No - there are other wilderness options close by for a lot less money, but they take longer to get to, don't have running water, and offer less convenience. There is some noise from Hwy 395 which abuts the property, but if you are situated toward the back, the noise is really not bad overnight. There are campground lights scattered about (particularly bright over the restrooms) so if you are sensitive to light, be aware of that.

RV spots are right next to each other with barely enough room for a picnic table. So if you're in an RV this is not really a spot to stretch out and set up an outdoor camp. These sites are better suited to people who stay inside their RV most of the time (or go out in their tow vehicle).

Cell coverage - with AT&T I was able to get 3-4 bars of LTE coverage, which allowed me to do some trading in the morning (and write this review). While tethered wirelessly to my .Phone XS I was getting 25 to 45 MBps of downloads. Perfectly suitable for working remotely.
