This is an controlled entrance camp ground inside the Refuge which means if you are late getting back from somewhere you will have to park your vehicle at a pull-out by the main entrance to camp ground and hike-in to your camp site.

The kids go crazy watching the Prairie Dog City community...
They also have a hugh museum with the history of the Refuge and lots of things and movies to see...
