Devil's Lake camping?

Hey All, 

looking for cheap/free/off grid camping around Devil's Lake. Other threads have mentioned Green Valley Campground - is this first come first serve? Can we just show up late friday night and expect there to be space? do we need to check in with anybody for a spot?

Green Valley is chill. First come first serve, $10/person/night (could also be $20, I can't quite remember), you put your money in an envelope. IIRC they are also willing to barter if you're into that kind of thing. No need to check in. 

I have never had trouble getting a spot there, they don't really market themselves so I don't think I've ever really seen it crowded. They've got some long term rv tenants so be respectful and all that jazz. If you want more info they should have a fb page with a phone number; that is the extent of their online presence. 

Free camping east of the Mississippi is really hard to come by unless you are stealth camping. 

Thanks Israel!!

If you have just a tent, Green Valley will 99.9% of the time will have space for you

Excellent! same goes for car camping?

I believe he means tent vs rv/camper. Car camping with a tent will be fine.
