To protect wintering wildlife, the WMA is closed to all activities from Jan. 1 to the second Saturday in April.
From the second Saturday in April through Sept. 9, you can still camp on parts of the WMA. Overnight camping is no longer allowed, however, in the parking lot or within a third of a mile of the parking lot.
Overnight camping is allowed across the entire WMA — including the parking lot and its surrounding area — from Sept. 10 to Dec. 31.
I go here to ride my horse. Because it's a no fee facility, the bathrooms are horrible and there is no trash service. No hook ups. If you like hiking, it's a great place to go. The river is fun but you need to hike to it. If you really want a nice camping experience, backpack in by the river. There are several established, no vehicles, campsites with rock fireplaces. Take bug spray! Also it's an open range facility so be prepared for midnight visits from cows.
Two bathrooms, limited facilities. Beautiful hike though. Well worth the hike.
We love this campground! We can bring our horses and bikes to have a wonderful family time. Very clean area, bathrooms you can always find very respectful people.
Beautiful, free camping. We were here in our 35' RV for 10 days. No hookups, no distinct sites, lots of sun, vaulted toilet. The views are amazing, cows grazing in the fields and many horse trailers and other campers in and out. Trails from the campground are dusty but fun to walk. Please remember this is a free campground so take your trash with you when you leave.
Beautiful trails. The Powerline trail has great views with little shade. Middlefork trail stays near the river. Couple of excellent camp spots and a few less ideal but usable ones.
Watch for rattlers. Bugs are around. Very popular for horse rides. There are several crossings, most of which lack a bridge and you will likely get a little wet.
