Cute basic campground

It's free alot of the time, but $8 bucks during peak season and you can stay for up to two weeks. Decent Verizon signal, has fire pits with no wood and nice smelly toilets, but gotta bring your own toilet paper and beer if you're gonna have a poo party. Surrounded by lots of pine trees that smell good. Super easy access off the main road and sites are level which is good if you can't see straight. Great night sky viewing if you stay up late enough stars will appear out of nowhere. Some road noise, but not bad at all if you where ear muffs or jam in some headphones with Fleetwood Mac. No trash cans, so you have to pack it all out. We like it alot!

Good

The campground is really nice, well maintained however there’s not very many. I believe there’s about 6 campsites. There’s no fee but they go quick. We stayed on night, it was nice. The road is very close, so you’ll hear cars passing by. They do have restrooms as well.
