The area has improved camping units, each with a table, tent pad, grill and lantern post. Water hydrants, chemical flush toilets, and garbage cans are located near camping sites. There are no sites with electrical hookups. It is a great place for self-contained RV units, too!
Indian Mounds Recreation Area There are two camping areas laid out - the Crazy Horse Camping Loop and the Buffalo Hide Camping Loop - which provide plenty of room in this very under-used park.
