I loved that it is wide open and I got to watch the northern lights dance across the sky all night long! Perfect spot to stay while working in the area…it is quiet but not desolate and that is exactly what I needed.

Tent
Grass was very overgrown and there was no place to have a fire to cook our food we ended up just driving the 5 hours back to our house over camping here.

Was a great spot other than the loud dogs across the street, but can’t fault them for that!

We enjoyed our getaway to Odessa. It is a simple, quiet lot, with plenty of space for an RV, multiple tents, plus EZ-up tent, and still space left over for tossing a ball or playing yard games. With no one else around to disrupt, it was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with a friend I haven't seen in a year. We used the wood in the woodpile to successfully have a fire, but I recommend bringing at least some of your own dry firewood get it going a little faster or bigger if you like a nice bright fire. Enjoyed the cafe in walking distance for breakfast in the morning.
