Camped here Friday night, but didn't see the sign at the trailhead about needing to notify police until I passed back through going eastbound 2 days later. Thankfully no one came up to my tent in the middle of the night.

This was a really quiet and peaceful spot, other than a woman yelling for her cat around midnight. Also the bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in over a year (possibly longer considering the other comments). The water spigot outside the bathrooms had a padlock on it, but the water from the bathroom faucet was fine.

Were the pool showers open for the season yet? Thanks!

I camped in the Pilot Grove city park 5/9. I was glad to have the place to camp. But the bathrooms were disgusting. I'm not too particular and will put up wit a lot, but both toilets in both bathrooms were stopped up and close to overflowing with human waste. The smell was unbelievable. My assumption is that the sewer line from the bathrooms is clogged. The water was on, but after seeing the bathrooms I didn't want to go back in. Not that long a trip to the trail head to fill water bottles. I wouldn't discourage anyone from camping there as long as they understood the park bathrooms should be avoided. Mihjt be better this summer if the pool is open.

I'm going to be camping there with my two children the first week in August. Does anyone have any updates on the camping situation / rest rooms? I will make sure to notify the police department in advance. Thanks in advance for any advice!

We will be camping there this weekend, I will try to let you know how the experience was. We normally go this time of year because the pool is open and you can take a shower. Casey's and a Bar/Grill are all within walking distance. Casey's has a breakfast pizza that is really good. The bathrooms have always been gross. The pool is worth it...
