Great for kayakers at the right time of year

Stayed at campsite 8 for the night. It has its own little spot to launch kayaks / canoes from. We were able to get in the water as soon as the conditions looked perfect. There’s a covered picnic table area and a big fire ring. The only downside was that every hour, some local would drive up to the campsite and get all confused when they saw us. Most sheepishly turned around and left. A couple stayed and smoked in their vehicles. One got out, sat on the picnic table and smoked a cigar for a solid hour while listening to Guns n Roses on his phone. So this campsite is a hangout spot for people. If you’re looking for seclusion, this is not it. I would recommend not coming in summer. It was 100+ with heat index , buggy, muggy and rain half the day. The dirt roads that lead in were very muddy. Small cars may have a hard time in rainy season.
