Peaceful and Quiet

My family hiked about 2.4 mi in to this campsite and stayed one night. We liked that you have to hike in, there is no car access. It is about 30 feet through some trees to the river, so if you were clever, I’m sure you could find it from a boat, but for us there was zero competition for the single campsite. The downside of that is the occasional boats or jet ski that come flying past, but for us that only happened a small handful of times.

On to the campsite: overall a really great campsite. There’s a fire ring with a grill grate on it that we were able to easily cook our food over, there was a wood picnic table, and there was a taller wooden table, more like a bar or island. The spot we put up our tent was a great spot nestled between some trees that held guy lines beautifully (we had a huge 8 person tent: definitely don’t recommend hauling one of those in there). You can see the stars through the hardwoods, and on the hike in you can see deer, squirrels, and all kinds of different birds.

Other than the aforementioned fire ring and tables, there are no other amenities. You have water access from the river as long as you have a purification system, but you’re on your own for bathrooms, electricity, etc., what you can carry in is what you have.

Overall, met my intent as a basic campsite my family of 5 with kids from 3 to 9 years old could walk into and get the simple outdoor experience.
