The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Wapaloosie is a small campground with a circular drive and two pull-thru campsites for trucks with trailers. It is a wonderful (circle the wagons) experience for Pack and Saddle enthusiasts. Amenities such as hitching posts, hayfeeder and a nearby creek make it a destination for equestrian use. The Wapaloosie Trail #15 is a short 2.7 mile ride/hike to access the 44.6 mile Kettle Crest National Scenic Trail. This area and its trails offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, abundant wildlife, wildflowers, incredible sunrises and sunsets. This multiple use recreation area also brings many hikers and mountain bikers to explore the vast landscape.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and it costs nothing at all. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s own record says there’s no camping fee, and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
