Back Country camping at Gibson Spring

Gibson Spring is a back country camp site and the only location in Fort Crowder Conservation Area where camping is allowed.  Located at Gibson Spring this camp area has plenty of room for numerous tents.  The site has several picnic tables, a trash can and a BBQ grill that someone left behind.  Your water source is the spring it self, remember to treat the water.  This site would be great for someone just getting in to backpacking as it is a short hike to the campsite from the closest trail head (took me only seven minutes).  No toilets at the site.  Trail head can be tricky to find as no signs on the road indicate the turn.  The conservation has 11 miles of multi-use trails to explore (foot, bike, horse).
