I wasn’t sure if this spot was still open being that it hasn’t had a review in over a year but it is! It is gorgeous and there is hardly anyone here this time of year. The gates now close at 6 PM and reopen at 8 AM. Put toilets are also nice and clean!

Camping closed and gated. Says hazardous road conditions in camping area. Lake is completely dry. Not a place to come. We parked at a small scenic overlook during the daytime to plan our next move. Don’t bother coming here.

Honestly the trains aren’t bad. You can hear them in the distance, but not like you’re sittin in the tracks. I found this place to be quiet and peaceful.

This will become an annual stop for me.

Cost is $2 a day but it’s free with your National Park Pass! Gates open 8 AM and close at 8 PM.
My only complaint was that there were no fire rings! No fires allowed, only propane. The train someone else complained about are not close. They didn’t both us at all.
Beautiful, mowed, tree covered sites with cement picnic table on a cement pad. All sites are pull they the grass. Vault toilets were very clean for vault toilets and inside was lit after dark!
So many birds singing to us all evening and all morning. Turkey called all evening and only once this morning and he showed himself before we left. We watched 2 deer grazing for a long time last night and saw them as we were leaving.
May have been my favorite campsite this trip. There was only 1 other person there and he was way down the road at the end.

We tent camped here for one night in late-October. We should have viewed the location on Google maps prior to settling in for the night. We probably would have noticed the close-by train tracks.

We did get to experience the horns ALL night long, and even felt the rumble. Not a massage...just a huge irritation.
On a positive note: The coyotes were in great spirits, and tickled us with their conversations.

Stayed free with my AtB pass. Mile drive down a pretty decent gravel road from gate to campground. Gate info is correct posted by others. Very quiet, spacious with cement picnic tables on concrete pad. Sites are pretty level. Pit outhouse that I didn't bother checking out. Only downside is it's in a remote location with no nearby towns. So bring wwhat you need. No hookups. The worse part were the flies! I don't know if it was just the time of year or what. But I've never seen so many in one spot. My teardrop door was covered with them as were the picnic table. Otherwise I'd give it a 5 star rating.Nothing to do, but good for an overnight stay. Stayed here 9/22/18.

We stopped here to spend the night before our reservation in Palo Duro Canyon State Park. There was one other site occupied (with a tent), so we had our choice of almost all the sites. It was pretty warm in the afternoon when we arrived (100F) but the breeze made it bearable outside in the shade. Beautiful dark skies at night. Birds singing in the trees. Wonderful coolness at night (down to low 60s).
Gravel road in campground - towed vehicle got pretty dusty pulled behind motorhome.
Free for federal access pass holders. Can stay up to 7 nights. Gate was posted as closed from 8pm to 8am.
We trimmed a few dead tree branches that would have hit the top of our motorhome.

2 mile interpreted trail that describes prairie environment. Not much for me to do here but the camp sites are well maintained. I camped on 16 February 2018. There is an automatic gate that closes at 6pm. You can get out but no one can get in. Not sure if time changes in summer.
