Storrie Lake State Park

The showers and bathrooms were closed in mid-April, although there were vault toilets and ports potties. Fairly quiet. We did not use the lake, nor did anyone else due to high winds. Sites have picnic tables with a shelter cover.
The reservation system is confusing. Sites are marked A and R for available and reserved. Others are marked X which the reservation system indicates means unavailable, but are actually first come first serve. Flyer indicates some sites are reservable May 15 - Sept 15 only, and we were told FCFS over dates.

Stayed March 25. Your experience will depend on your level of expectation. We wanted a stop where we could get water and dump, didn't want to spend KOA money, and didn't want to drive further along our route. We made a reservation online and for our needs, this campground worked perfectly. Since we knew water was shut off until April 1, we filled with potable water by the dump station. Level sites, easy in/out, bathrooms were also closed till April 1 and the port-a-potties by the playground were open. Quiet at night once traffic died down (until obnoxious tenters with a loud muffler had to drive to the port-a-potty , repeatedly starting at 6:30a. Takes all kinds!). Lake levels are way down, but it still made a nice leg stretch walkabout after a long day of driving. Driving a little further off the interstate was worth it to us.

First of all we only can book it online. They charged us $4 fee on the top of nightly charge. We only stay one night so booking fee is 40% of the cost ($10/night since we had a site without electricity hookup).
After we arrived there, there was no shower even though the list of amenities has shower. It is true that the website stated main shower was closed for repair. But there are 2 showers on the campground according to the campground map. We walked to another shower facility but it was locked, both men and women. There was no notice of any explanation of its closure. I think government just does not have accountability to anyone, so does this state park. From now on we will stay away from state parks or any facilities operated by government except free BLM. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this state park.
Also in the evening there were a lot of teenagers drove around and very noisy.

Confirmation email stated check in time is 4:00 pm. We arrived around this time and found there was no water available at the site or any site at lease in the south loop. We found one sticker for water near the dump station. No water at the dump station and the bathroom was blocked off. We were going to go into town and noticed the sign near the gate that stayed the gate closed at 5:00. We couldn’t believe they would lock us out of the campground so we waited until after 5:00 to see if this was true-yes it’s true. The gate was locked. Looks like you only have 1 hour to check into this place. Doesn’t make sense.

We didn’t realize the gates would be closing at 9pm, and there are spike strips on the exit. I’m not a huge fan of being locked in or out like that. We arrived shortly after 9pm and ended up having to go a few miles back into town to park at Walmart with the other trailers. Came back this morning to get water and take showers.
The lake is pretty far from these southern camp sites, but nice and quiet! There is a large, bright street light pole that lights up most of the camp area, so bring your window covers if you like sleeping in the dark.

We camped at Storrie Lake during dreary weather, which certainly doesn’t give the CG a chance to shine. On the bright side, the CG offers large, level sites with plenty of privacy. We had a 30amp/water site ($14 + online booking fee) and appreciated the easy to access dump station on the way out (also accessible on entry). Our Verizon worked without a booster, and there was plenty of room for walking our dog.
This park is laid out a little funny, and we found the hard left upon entry to be challenging, and after that we were greeted with another hard left to enter the camp site area (less challenging than the first, but still seemed poorly planned). I see other reviewers noting that this CG is run down, and I would tend to agree, though it was hard to judge on our short stay. The park was clean, quiet, and there was a camp host and circulating park rangers. We would stay here again, but I didn’t see anything to make this a destination CG, more of useful overnight. It’s easy to access and close to a lot of handy amenities. It’s also worth noting there was a sign that said the water would be shut off beginning 10/1, which would make this spot less appealing if we were just passing through.
