Comments:
Very nice city park with a nice walking path.
Campground is located on a large grassy lot.
Pretty nasty during raining weather. Ask me how I know!
Partial payment/gravel vehicle paths separate the grass campsites.
No electric, water or dump station.
Restroom by campground is pretty nasty.
Will spend one night here while en-route home to Chicago.
