Stayed here one night & it was very nice. We did not stay at the initial campsite, but kept driving to the end and stayed near the creek. I would not recommend to keep driving past the initial campsites if you have a trailer or no AWD. We would stay here again.

We had a 20 ft camper trailer and could only turn around because campground was pretty empty and we could drive through the empty sites. Only around 6 spots. That being said, it was quiet and felt safe there. There is a vault toilet, but pretty nasty. We had our own in camper.

So with all that being said: if you don’t need a toilet, and you know to stay away from poison ivy, then it’s a great quiet little spot that is tent friendly up to big rig friendly.

Turn left at the intersection campendium takes you to. Few small sites or you can drive down a relatively steep hill to a big grass area . No cell service if going down but walking trails. Very pretty and nice.

Found this after driving back from the west and needed a break from hwy rest areas. Easy drive after exiting the interstate 70 hwy.
The campsite is called ‘Post Oak Camping Area’ (circled in the map photo, at the intersection where Campendium shows this spot, make a left and go about 1/2 mile).
Even gravel road after paved road ends. In the photo of the printed map, I circled the camp area I'm referring to, the Post Oak Camping Area. Several (about 8-9) designated “pods” areas (some with metal fire pits, some have stone fire pits), a toilet on the right-hand side (didn’t use so can’t attest to the level or cleanliness). When I got here Sunday evening, there were 2 other cars here.
Later, another car went by and kept going. There seems to be another camp area at the end of the road. Map shows few more free camp areas in the conservation area. Felt safe. Would do this again.

There was a 40 foot Class A parked in the only truly level lot. The other five or so were no level. It would be a bit tightly for larger RVs, but be aware that you will need to so some real leveling. There is a decently clean vault toilet. Perfect place to stay!

We have a 46" camper and found one spot that would fit, but it was tight. It was a nice place and had a fire pit. It was very quiet. Only 1 other camper there. We decided to go down the hill the next morning to leave, but that was a huge mistake. I would not recommend going down there if you have a big rig. We had a hard time turning around and getting back up. It is pretty steep. It would be fine for smaller campers.

Spent one night on my way to south Dakota. Plan on coming back for a few days. Very quiet and some cool campers doing the van thing. Privy reasonably clean and spots well defined. One tip, when you come to crossroads, turn left or right for camping sites.

5 miles off I-70 on totally manageable dirt roads. Cell service is good. There are multiple locations of primitive campsites down every access road in the preservation area- the main section having 7 or 8 sites with a pit toilet. Maps are available at the information kiosks and the sites are clearly marked on the map, though some are hidden to the naked eye when driving by. Space for tents or RVs. No firewood available at local convenience stores- purchase further out in civilization. Fire pits had not been dug out in some time- indicating poor upkeep- but it wasn’t dirty.
