"Fantastic Park, So So Location"

It's hard to disagree with any of the 5 star reviews of this park. It is easily one of the smartest, well equipped and best maintained state parks we have ever visited. It feels like an upscale RV Resort but with spacious sites! That's a good and... Read more

"Scenic campground with fun camping atmosphere. "

We just stayed for one night while passing through, but still managed a visit to the fun Lehman Caves as well as a morning hike at 10,000 feet under Wheeler Peak. The Lower Lehman Campground would have been a easier in and out for us, with level... Read more

"Amazing views just a few minutes from a recreation paradise"

"Great little overnight stop on Highway 50"

When you are driving along Highway 50 The Loneliest Road in America this is a great stop to rest your weary head. This campground isn't free - it's actually $10 per night. But it has water, trash collection, and pit toilets. Each site has a... Read more

"It's a fairground RV park!"

Fairgrounds don't tend to be the most atmospheric places and this is no exception. It's a gravel lot that packs 'em in, so be prepared to know your neighbors. Fortunately it is not too crowded when there isn't an event on, so you tend not to be... Read more

"Great location, spacious sites"
