North Wheeler campground
Pictures and Information
The road to the North Wheeler campground is several miles of dirt road, but is very scenic with rolling hills and a great view of the Missouri river.
Once we arrived at the main gate I took some pictures. We also noticed that the first campground at North Wheeler, was completely flooded.
The second campsite area was further down, and there was about 15 sites or so, and all we saw was one outhouse and no showers.
The third campsite area look nice, and ready for campers.
We drove around a curve and wound up at a marina. Here's a picture of the dock and signs located there. There was also another outhouse. So this must be a "first come, first serve" kind of campground. The camping fee is $12.00 dollars and you just place it in a drop box.
Bottom line, the hubby liked the looks of the campground, but it was pretty flooded and muddy, so we decided to go back to the Platte Creek Campground and camp.
