Stopped here for the night. Campsite was as described: big and well maintained. There was only one other person there. We looked but there was no where to pay. We heard the train once but it wasn’t that late at night. Beautiful view of the stars.

This is actually BLM land. But it is $5, 14 day stay limit. Some pretty clean vault toilets, picnic tables, fire pits and water at some of the sites. Only 6 sites but all a huge, well spaced, and relatively flat. Big rig friendly. But if your rig is tall don’t approach from the east as there is a 12 foot train bridge.

Exactly as described. Stayed for 1 night & never saw anyone. Very safe

$5 bucks a night and really nice sites. Some even have covered patios with concrete pads. Gravel roads in ND are well maintained, at least in summer. Very quiet and just a few miles off Interstate 94. Only one or two bars of reception on AT&T, but Starlink works perfectly. You could pretty easily fit a 40ft RV into any of the sites and multiple smaller rigs.

Still checks out. Nice spot for the evening.

Nice campground, some coverage but not a lot for shade. Very quite and great view of stars. $5 fee has vault toilet, running water, each spot has a pull through area with picnic table, grill, lantern hanger and fire ring. Nice, we came and there were lots of grasshoppers. Lots! Fly’s manageable for this time of month. It was peaceful not as it’s behind a rise so don’t hear the train that’s 2 miles away.

National Forest Service Campground Schnell Ranch Recreation Area Here. 6 or 7 very large campsites each could hold several Tents or RV's post COVID19.
