Beautiful flat level parking area. There was one other camper there. That night we had a wild storm with Golf Ball sized hail. Our car now has dimples. I am a birder and before the storm I got a great photo aid a dicksissel

You need to have a hunting or fishing license to stay at this location. We were told we could not stay the night.

We found this place easily, parking was great. Just a parking lot but no one there. Gun range next door (which we utilized). Slept great - all was good till Fish and Wildlife stopped by about 10 to let us know we couldn’t be there!
There were several signs on property but none indicated license requirement. I’ve included pic of their website and a sign from property.
Also, during evening winds shifted and we got full dose of the stockyard smell.

Like the other reviews stated, it’s a shooting range. However the camping & shooting area is separated by a berm they shoot away from the camping area. Right off the highway, easy to get in. Plenty of room to turn any size of rig. Great for 1 night after a long drive. No real road noise.

You are camping on a shotgun range. The rifle and pistol range is adjacent to the east. Easy on and off the Hwy. Small fishing lake right behind the ranges. This place is nothing special but it will do.

A quiet and dark spot just of the road. It was a level dirt area and had a porta John around the corner. It seems to be a gun range during the day and a camping spot at night. Nothing special, just convenient and better than a Walmart.
