Best place to camp is in the state you are from.
Camped there with my daughter a few times from 2004 to 2007. Awesome campground. Big campsites. Lovely beach. Trails galore. Two of the four loops have flush toilets (but no showers, unfortunately). The store at the corner of the main road where it meets the road to the campground has showers to use for a fee-- at least it did back in '07.
Thanks for the shower tip!
In the road accessible by motorcycle? Harley’s
The road up from Bassalt is paved. You'll enjoy the ride. Campground is dirt and was pretty smooth during our visit
???????????????????????????????????????
Bravissimo! 👏🎣😃
Thanks!
Thank you!!
@@CampgroundRecon You’re welcome!
I love you guys. Thanks for all you do.
Happy to help out
We love this campground and have hiked Willow Creek Trail many times. There's actually 4 tent camp sites. One of them is site #0. It looks like on your video that the sign wasn't there for it, so it makes it look like Site #1 has 2 picnic tables and 2 fire rings. 😊 Maybe that's how it used to be?! 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing, guys!
Thanks for letting us know about site #0!!
@@CampgroundReconYou're welcome! 💗
I live in Wichita and noticed that lake Cheney just outside of Wichita is just about to dry up. The water level is like 30ft below normal, not sure why but it sure did catch my attention that something wasn't right . . .
Hope it fills up soon!
Jewel County State lake is a great spot. Smaller but real nice.
Thanks so much for taking the time do create these videos. We're staying in E11 in September and it really helps to have a visual of the sites prior to arriving.
Exactly why we do it. Glad to help out!
Try Wilson Lake on I70 West.
Definitely on the list. Lucas is one of the few tourist attractions that I never got to visit in my younger years.
Chase County is very cool.
My issue is the atvs endless atvs
Not bad in the campground besides the one loop. The width restriction keeps the bigger RZRs away. They usually go on the other side of the Trading Post.
Does anyone know if you can walk right to the river/creek from the campsites? Thanks. PS We love Campground Recon! Thank you for your great contributions.
You can walk across the road to the river from the campground entrance.
Stopped in at O'haver about 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday. No availability, booked solid. It is a nice place but it's too close to a populated area to hope to just pull in and get a site. The poor camp host already had a line of people there at 9 in the morning, bugging him for availability. I saw him struggling to keep everyone straight so i finally thanked him for his time and left. We were caught up in that situation last year north of pagosa springs, people were flat asses about hovering over the campers that were getting ready to leave and some even unloaded some their items right in around the current campers as the packed up.. Don't get me wrong, i watch your videos all the time but i look for dispersed. Less idiots is a positive...
Things are getting crazy in the area! I like go further west to avoid some of the crowds.
what is the road you were on when showing the camp sites?
Listed as Pawnee Buttes Trail Head. GPS coordinates: 40.81055, -103.99708
@@CampgroundRecon , so did you ride on the trail head to get to a clear spot to camp?
Continue on the road just past the parking lot for the trailhead.
@@CampgroundRecon can you camp in May/June. I'm doing a motorcycle trip with my friend and this would be a purfect place to setup a overnight stay.
Yes. This one is open year round.
Thank you! We ate wondering if there will be a grill grate at each site?
I believe every site had one.
Thanks for the video! We watch this video whenever we're looking at new spots. It's so hard to get into Dowdy that you can never count on getting one you've been in before.
Do you think a Honda civic could make it on that road? 😭 I am planning a trip to crested Butte and I have a roof top tent😅
It's a little rough. I'd take it slow and see how you feel.
Thank you so much for providing such detailed info and videos. This is so helpful for those of us outside of the area.
We were just up on the flat tops a couple of days ago. We were on the southern end coming up from Dotsero. This is our next, coming in from the northern end, looks more populated, but still amazing. Thanks for the video!
Coming from Dotsero is still on the to do list for us. Heading in from Meeker/Buford felt pretty remote. The Yampa side was beautiful but felt like we weren't far from town.
@@CampgroundRecon you will love that 10 miles of shelf road😂😳 Once on top, wow it’s beautiful! Don’t miss the Deep Creek Overlook!
@@Justcruisintrails Thanks for the tips!!
@@CampgroundRecon have fun! Quick tip, if you have the ability to air down it will definitely smooth out the ride. About five miles of the upper part of the shelf road is pretty slow, rocky and bumpy. Plenty of great dispersed camping and if you want a established campground, Deep Lake is really nice and $6 per night.
Hi, Seth Here. What date exactly was this video taken? The year is not important... Thanks, Cheap Enginearing Seth
My record keeping back then wasn't the best. I think it was early March.
Seems to skip most sites??? Audio?
You found one of our really bad videos. Echo Lake is on the re-do list when we go to record West Chicago Creek Campground.
Really appreciate this series. One of my all time favorite campgrounds. Was cool to look at again.
This is an incredible video. Love the mapping in the bottom right of the screen. This was super informative and helped me choose a spot. Thanks for the help 4 years later!
Woodson County State Fishing lake is another great one, and Cross Timbers State Park (known locally as Toronto Lake) is just a few miles west of the State fishing lake in case you need more amenities or a larger lake.
Spent a lot of time in the late 70's at Toronto and Fall River. Was out there briefly last September
Great informative videos, thank you!
Is there a fire ban there
I'm not seeing any restrictions on this interactive map from the forest service: usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=893541070a6746d98aa59615eb7a8067&folderid=68b4a2618b594ad09c8fa40fba211ab8
Is there a water source at himes campground that we can swim in?
North Fork White River passes by the campground. Might be able to do some wading if the water isn't flowing too fast
@@CampgroundRecon thank u soi much for your quick reply. Love your videos and your smooth voice giving us subscribers everything we need. Yr the best
Vail is the biggest joke in the state. It's been sold to all the idiots in a major marketing campaign. The place has I 70 going through the middle of it! If you love Vail, you're a moronic idiot.
is there a burn ban now
I'm not seeing one in this area. Here's one of several maps I checked: usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=893541070a6746d98aa59615eb7a8067&folderid=68b4a2618b594ad09c8fa40fba211ab8
I see that the sites include fire rings. Do you recall or know if there is firewood available nearby? For instance, in my last camping trip to Banff National Park, Parks Canada provided free firewood for use in the rings. They had a nearby lot filled with firewood that everyone simply pulled up to, in order to take firewood. They constantly kept it restocked.
The camp host will have some available for sale. National forest firewood prices vary but I would expect something in the $7 - $10 price range per bundle. Bring cash or check.
This was oddly recommended to me, even though I NEVER give out or search this spot! It's my "gateway" campsites to this and the surrounding Yampa area 🌲🏞🏔❤ *been coming up here annually since I was 14 years old, and I'm a few months from 54, now!
I'm always jealous of those that were able to see these beautiful places back in the days of paper maps and no cell phones.
I will watch every Kansas campground tour you make! Thank you for the video! Subscribed!
I should have another from Kansas very soon
@@CampgroundRecon No please stop. No need to publicize our peace:)
Been there almost every summer since 2020, probably my #1 pick in the state for off roading. Trails are amazing. Doable in a 2wd quad bike
Love the drive-through video. Great Idea! I have a much great sense of the campground that what I could find from photos and Sat. views.
So helpful!
Nice ride through.
Thanks!
This is so very helpful to see the actual campsites and decide what to book. Thank you for this nice work. Kudos to you and happy camping!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! You pulled into site #8 and that's the one we reserved.
Glad I could help! Have a great trip!
Great. Thanks!!
With the contamination would swimming not be advised?
I wouldn't
@@CampgroundRecon thank you.. do you know of any free sites that can/will allow 6 to 7 tents near or around Alamosa? We have a really big group.
@@tiffanybaughman5523 Have you looked at Comstock and Rock Creek Campgrounds? If I remember correctly they are free too. Here's a dispersed area that is further away but still kinda in the Alamosa area: ruclips.net/video/KMysQhLYY-k/видео.html Penitente CG might be another that is free or low cost
Awesome thank you so much! I havent heard of either but will definitely check them out. Again thank you!
