Dalrymple Park and Campground

Campground Host Cheating the System I want to start by saying the reasoning for the one star review has more to do with the experience we had with the campground host Patty, rather than the campground itself. The campsites were beautiful and the City Hall was extremely helpful with the situation. When arriving at the campground we drove through looking for an open site as it was clearly posted that the campsites were first come first serve. We found an empty site right off the lake and were about to go back to the pay station when we saw a paper note clipped on the campsite post that only had that days date on it. No move in and move out dates, just that days date. We were a bit confused so we went up to the self-serve pay station to read the campground rules. They clearly stated to tear

There were a number of sites available when I arrived early afternoon, but they filled up fast. The sites were nicely sized and spread out, with ample room for tents or a small camper. Potable water was available as well. My only complaint is that the vault toilets could be smelled throughout the campground.

Fantastic little campground- lots of sites available on a Monday, we didn’t show up till after 4pm and had plenty of options. All sites have electric, there are a good number of water faucets around, and a few pit toilets. Sites feel private and are wooded/shady. Easy to walk down to the lake and quiet. No showers, but much better than the other ones we saw. We actually left the casino campground to come over here and are so happy we did!

We got up super early to get a site here for four nights. We immediately went down to the lake sites that we had heard so much about. All sites in the lower campground were “saved”, several by the camp host. We were disappointed. We found a very shady spot in the upper campground (site 15). The site was very unlevel, but we were able to level ok in our 18 ft. camper. Site 14 was very small and really only big enough for a small van at most. Over the next four days, we saw many campers that were too large wedge themselves in to that site. It was so close that we could hear their conversations and two boxed us into our site. That site should be removed. On the other side of us, for two nights an huge fifth wheel arrived and their big dogs were in Our campsite on their leash. Also too close.

First come first serve! Absolutely beautiful campsite with electric hook up, lake view, private. Pit toilets that are clean , potable water nearby. A local man comes around with reasonably priced firewood. Great place to camp!
