Need a trash bag? Please ask a camping neighbor if they have an extra, make a quick trip to town to grab some supplies, or stop by the Pawnee Bathhouse during operating hours (12:00 PM–6:00 PM, 7 days a week) and we’ll be happy to give you a trash bag!

Please pick up your campsite before you head home! 🏕️🗑️

Help us keep Pawnee Recreational Area clean and enjoyable for everyone by making sure your campsite is free of trash before you leave.

We have several dumpsters conveniently located around the lake for your use.
