A very pleasant surprise , we were treated like family by the employees. 3 restaurants within 500 feet of the park. Looking foreword to staying there again on our next trip North.

Really nice place. Well managed by friendly folks. Perfect spot for a lay-over. (Never looked in the restrooms - my camper has its own. Hopefully not providing a rating on that doesn't impact the overall score)

This is an excellent campground with shockingly level sites. The camp store has everything you could need, the showers and bathrooms are great. The downside: it is next to a truck stop, so if you like to sleep with your windows open... be prepared.

5 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/2020

We have a 40 foot car-hauler with living area. We did not use the restrooms. Great place to stop on the way. The new longer sites are nice. We stayed just one night. But we have stayed here many times on our way to and from ND.

4 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/2020

What we appreciated: quick check in, escort to site, decently sized, fairly level lot with mature trees, steady evening wifi. What could have been better: truckers park next door, which is a bright lot and a bit noisy. Could hear them coming and going, running late into the night.

We stayed here in a June 2020 one night on the way west and one night on the way back. This is a great stop-over site. It's easy to get to off the highway and the site offers nice shade with beautiful trees. We had a pull through site which is gravel and pretty level. The laundry facility is good and the bath house is clean. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The only possible downside may be the trucks running at the truck-stop on the corner, but they didn't bother us and we... Read More

This campground may just be the best of our six-week trip!! Fifty-year old cottonwood trees line the sites of this well-planned park. Sites are level and each offers shade and a view of the beautiful rows of trees! We awoke this morning to a mist that made the park seem lost in time. Owners are super-friendly and make the park welcoming and comfortable, every detail is perfect... right down to the potted flowers at every site.

A little on-site store has just what you need and we tanked up with propane before we hit the road. Just off the interstate, convenient restaurants, and diesel next door #willbeback #comebeforeOct1

Stayed one night on our way west. Check-in was a breeze, receptionist was very polite and very helpful. We were escorted to our site. The park is small, but very well kept. It is only open from April through October. It is very peaceful. The site was level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The Wi-Fi is excellent! I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice park. We have stayed here before. Clean restrooms. Friendly people. Nice wooded sites.

Well kept park. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Easy off/on the road. We'll stop again!

Loved it here. Very nice people. Quiet.

Overnight stop. Owners very friendly and helpful. Advised that there was a severe weather advisory for the area and made sure we knew where storm shelter was located. Mainly pull-thru sites, full hookup. Roads (gravel and dirt) in somewhat poor condition due to recent heavy rains, but obvious efforts had been made to improve them. Restrooms clean and well-stocked. Grocery sore a few blocks away. Easy on and off interstate. Would return.

5 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/2018

Even though sites we're gravel, our site was perfectly level. A few.trees.and.grassy areas. Our satellite came in well. Owners were very friendly and helpful. They even had a wine tasting of local wines. Next to a truck gas station and Dairy Queen. Best of all, since our hot water heater was not working, the showers we're great. Clean, hot, and a lot of water pressure.

Nice park with friendly staff. Enjoyed my time here. Roads in good condition and clean restrooms. Will definitely add this park to my favorites list.

4 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/2017

This is a good place to stay if you need a convenient location to stay for other purposes, not for a camping trip. The sites are long gravel with relatively level grounds. The grass is mown and trees are trimmed so that branches do not damage RV tops. The really is nothing remarkable or unremarkable about the park. We had mosquitoes the week we were there, so being outside was not an option. I would stay there again when visiting in the area.

Fabulous overnight spot. Have stayed here last year and it is super convenient to food, groceries, fuel, etc. Cottonwoods are awesome, shaded sites, level, gravel. Construction in area presently, but no issue for us.

We just stayed overnight as we were enroute KS to MN. Location is convenient to highway yet not noisy. Within a stones throw of a Dairy Queen sit down restaurant. We were also surprised in the morning to find it is across the road from a truck stop we hadn't noticed upon our arrival. We didn't hear any truck noises through the night. Park is small but well maintained. It appeared most of the lots were pull through. Standard hookups in good condition. Office/Gift Shop is open until 9 p.m., attended... Read More

We just stayed overnight as we were enroute KS to MN. Location is convenient to highway yet not noisy. Within a stones throw of a Dairy Queen sit down restaurant. We were also surprised in the morning to find it is across the road from a truck stop we hadn't noticed upon our arrival. We didn't hear any truck noises through the night. Park is small but well maintained. It appeared most of the lots were pull through. Standard hookups in good condition. Office/Gift Shop is open until 9 p.m., attended and well stocked with both necessities and fun stuff. Quick check in and prompt escort to site followed by an offer of help if we need it. Next time we make the trek from KS to MN we will plan a stop here again. Oh, and something we have never seen before. Upon check in the handy note with wifi password and short list of "rules" included the name of the county we were in. So many times weather alerts are broadcast with only references to counties and those of us traveling have to scramble for the atlas to see if we are in danger. These folks thought about that ahead of time and supplied the info needed. We camped in a 36 ft diesel pusher class A with two slides towing the family car.

Excellent very friendly hosts, if you tired this is the place to stop. We stayed only one night but we would love to stay there more. Well shaded lots & tress are trimmed don't have to worry about damaging your RV. Very friendly huge sites easy to get in and out. We will stop here again for sure. Try it you wont be disappointed. Just off the highway very easy to find. Very reasonably priced.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. After escorting us to our site, he offered any help we might need during our stay, e.g., tools, advice, etc. We originally had a large pull through site with very little shade and they let us move one site over to take advantage of the shade during the 90+ degree afternoons. The site was large enough to accommodate our 40' toy hauler, our truck, and unload the motorcycles and leave them parked in the site. We were within easy walking distance to a convenience...

We were within easy walking distance to a convenience store and Dairy Queen. Their store was well stocked with RV supplies, some food, and souvenirs. The best part was the showers. Although we have a shower in the camper, we enjoy a shower without worrying about running out of hot water occasionally. Both men's and women's showers were clean with plenty of water pressure. We highly recommend this park and will stay there again if in the area.

very nice and clean. Staff was excellent and sites were good for 1 night. Will return.

Beautifully kept park. Mostly pull through sites. Wonderful mature Cottonwood shade trees. Owners are very pleasant and helpful! Absolutely will be back and most certainly recommend this park!

Very nice camp with large trees. Escort take you to your site. Nicely kept grounds with flowers pots at each tree. Very nice camp with friendly office personnel.

Nice campground, appears to be a several who rent spots for the season. Nice view of the lake. We only had an overnight stay but would spend a weekend.

4 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/2017

Convenient easy access. Simple, lovely shaded, level pull through sites. Well maintained with picnic tables and fire pits. Nice clean showers, toilets and laundry area. Wifi, no cable. Thoughtful and helpful owners. Walking distance to DQ, McDonalds and Subway/Gas station. I look forward to Staying here again.

Great place to stay! Very friendly people! Big mature trees. Easy on and off interstate!

5 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/2017

This is a very nice park under the shade of large Cottonwood trees. The owners are very nice people and check-in was easy. We were escorted to our very large pull-through site. Roads and sites are packed rock and the sites are level. Wifi works good. There are a couple of fuel stations next door. Stopped overnight here and glad we did.

5 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/2017

We stumbled across this camp ground on our recent trip out west. Most sites are heavily shaded with mature cotton wood trees, well maintained with ample room provided for extra vehicular activities, restroom/shower facilities were spotless and we found the owners to be extremely friendly and helpful. Nice 9 hole golf course as well as a casino are near by if that is of interest. You can't go wrong stopping here if your in the neighborhood.

Well maintained and friendly courteous staff. Nice access to gas station (in front!) Clean bathrooms!

The couple that run this park were amazing. They were friendly and helpful. It was quiet. The sites were large and pull through. We only stayed one night but will be back. It is ideal for an overnight while traveling through.

5 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/2016

Great RV park. Super friendly owners. Large camping spots and a great place to stay when you're traveling through. This is not a destination campground with a bunch of kids running around. It's a pull off the interstate, park under some trees, get a peaceful night of sleep campground. I will gladly stop here again when passing through.

5 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/2016

We arrived here a day earlier than planned and the owners were very accommodating. We mentioned that we had friends that would be visiting us and they put us in a large pull through site so our friends would have a parking spot. The best part of the site is that we are away from most other sites and our puppy has room to roam on her 20 foot leash. On this our first trip with our new tiny home on wheels and new towing vehicle On-Ur-Way RV Park has been the best.

5 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/2016

Loved this property, very well maintained quaint spot with charming little touches everywhere. The husband and wife owners are on site and are friendly and helpful. We stayed there on our way to Montana in June and on our was back in July. You can walk to a few fast food restaurants if you don't want to cook or unhook your tow vehicle. The bathrooms and showers were impeccable. Would absolutely stay there again ??????

5 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/2015

Conveniently located next to I-29. Campground is nestled among large cottonwood trees that provide plenty of shade. Easy in-out with large pull thru sites for our 40-ft Motorhome. Friendly staff greeted us upon arrival and escorted us to our site. Would definitely stay at this park again when traveling in the area.

Best restroom and shower facility and friendly owners

4 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/2015

Excellent for a quick one-nighter. A real 100' long pull-thru. Wifi works good. Bathrooms very clean and good shower. Level site. Let's face it, it is not a destination spot, the name says it all. Right next to diesel station, DQ and MacD along with quick access back on highway.

5 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/2015

Only stayed here one night and would have stayed longer. This park is right off the highway and a small gem. The young owners are wonderful, courteous and helpful. They went out of their way to help all the overnight people in and out at all hours. They have propane there and the pull thru sites are large and level. The restrooms were spotless and the small office store is cute. It is an overnight park but very worth the stay. Will stop here again.

the owners were more than helpful. i'd stay there again.

5 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/2015

Excellent park! Long level pull thru sites. Cleanest restrooms ever! Friendly and helpful people. We stayed here twice while traveling cross country and arrived after dark both times. They escorted us to a site and made sure we had access to electric, water etc. Great experience.
