Powers County Park is a recreational complex located in the city limits of Powers. The park is open year-round for RV, cabin and tent camping.

The campground offers 70 campsites, 40 RV sites with electrical and water hookups, 30 tent camping sites and three cabins available by reservation. Visitors can expect handicap accessible restrooms with flushing toilets and warm showers.

‘The park and rural community of 700 people are surrounded by mountainous beauty and lush ranch land,” the park’s Web site reads.

The day-use area of the park includes three picnic shelters, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, a fish cleaning station, horseshoe pits and a softball field. The south end of the park is bordered by a 30-acre manmade lake, which is stocked with trout, bass, catfish and crappie.

‘A pleasing part of Powers County Park is the willingness of the staff to always find room for one more camper,” according to the park’s Web site.

During the summer, campsites with hookups are $16 per night or $11 without. In the winter, campsites are $12 per night with hookups or $10 without.

Cabins require a $10 non-refundable reservation fee and are $30 per night or $180 per week.
