Nice park, to stay and visit. Passing through. has dump and water and power. Cell service not so good.

Mel Rieman Rec was a lovely spot to camp on our way across country. We arrived on a Wednesday and there was only one other camper there. We had not reserved a spot ahead of time and we’re able to grab one last minute online. The only thing to consider is that if we had arrived on the weekend without reserving, we would have lucked out finding a spot.

We were here in late September. There was one other occupied campsite but we never saw that person. We were just en route to a site further west and once we set up we became aware of the size of the reservoir. We decided to spend an additional night so we could explore the area in more depth. We were in site two - nice views of the reservoir, but no immediate access without walking down the road to the boat landing. Extraordinarily clean restroom facilities. Nice to have showers available. Dump Station with potable water is a plus. Intermittent t-mobile cell coverage, frequently flipped to AT&T roaming. Cell 'hotspot' provided at registration location did not make any difference in our reception.

Arrived Thursday 7/1. Several open sites on Thursday evening. Clean restrooms, flush toilets, and free showers. Dump Station available. Short walk to the reservoir.
