This is a little gem hidden away. As a tent camper, I appreciated the toilet and shower facilities. Wasn’t very busy when we went through so very quiet. We stayed for one night before continuing our travels

Weekend Trip to Easton’s Castle/O-TE-LA Camp

We tent camped with our kids here. It's secluded which we like with trees. It didn't have a working shower and the bathrooms are portapotties. There are some trails and it's primitive only. We enjoyed our time here and the kids liked walking around the property. Be prepared for mosquitos since the land has standing water on and near it. Bring your own chairs too. We had our dog who roamed the first day until other campers came then we leashed her. We saw several deer. Overall good time for our needs. Biggest downside is the train being right there and if you are a light sleeper it would make it hard to sleep.

Absolutely beautiful spot for tent camping right by the lake. Clean and accessible bathrooms and covered picnic tables! Great to have a spot focused on conservation and flood prevention and supports amazing wildlife! Especially enjoyed watching the pelicans fishing at dusk!
