After a long days drive we found this city park in Hope. It is surrounded by an area of incredible poverty. Folks stared at us as we drove thru the neighborhood that led to the park. Cars with smashed windows. Feeling totally unnerved we got back on I-30 and drove to Iron Mountain COE.

Arrival - Super easy with online check-in. Simply arrive at Fort Wilderness (FW) and tell the attendant you checked in online and he/she will check on their smart device and pass you on through with maps and simple directions to your loop. If you don't check in online, there is a massive registration area where you pass through the fort gates...

The road was in good shape. Easy access for my low clearance 2wd sprinter. I wouldn’t come here after any precipitation though. I only saw 3 spots but I only went a few miles down the road. I stayed at the 2nd one on the left. I was the only person here. It was perfect.

This is an easily accessible campground from I-26. The sites are under the trees and close together, but there were only a few campers during the week in late March. I have a small camper but it seemed navigable for larger rigs. Vault toilets were very clean and well maintained. I found the reservation system confusing and it didn’t appear there...

We stayed here in our way farther south. It’s a 20-minute drive from town. Roomy, spaced out sites. Not much to do there but a great stop over at a great price. Facilites clean and well kept!
