Beautiful! Most popular campground in this area. Definitely make reservations. Some sites with no reservation required. Has a fish cleaning station, bathrooms-pit, fire pits and picnic tables. Lots of trees. Unsure about power as I did not see sites with power. Water spickets to share. I think $32.25 is a little much when there is no power or water at sites. Overall a nice place.

Nice quiet campground. Dry camping only. Pit toilets are nice and clean. There are dumpsters, and water hydrants to fill your RV. Dump station is up the road at the state park headquarters. Quiet hours 10pm to 6 am. Sites are big enough for any size rig with room to spare. Several sites have covered picnic tables with wind breaks. All have picnic tables and fire pits. There is a train track not far away but only a few trains during the day and only one at night. Looks like there used to be grass but it has dried up. Still a nice place to relax. Small boat ramp and dock. 15$ a night if you are a Wyoming resident or have their yearly pass. 25$ for non resident with no pass. Requires a reservation during the covid19. A ranger drives through at least once a day to make sure everything is OK.

Pretty nice. Easy access, many camping spots, easy to find. One of my favorite places. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars, the wasp nest in the overhang structures needs to be addressed... It was pretty bad this year.
