We were only in for one night, but we’ll always remember this place. The Meadow and Small Lake are a nice scenic break from the miles of surrounding corn. Signs from I-80 are sketchy so finding the place is a challenge. The access roads from the Interstate are not paved. The dust is forever.

Facilities are adequate, although some hook-ups are just plain strange. Our post was filled with an active wasp nest. During the night we heard an alarm clock beeping and found it coming from the cabin next door. I knocked but no one was there. The door was unlocked, so I opened it. The interior of the cabin looked like a crime scene. It was a knee-deep cauldron of party debris from wall to wall. I found the beeping alarm clock, unplugged it, and got out quickly.
