5 sites... not quite sure why it's a "campground"

The Potts Creek campground was TINY and it's a dead end road. Site 2 was covered in pine needles and overgrowth like it hadn't been used in a very long time. Site 1 was large enough to fit a large tent or a smaller pop up. Site 3 was definitely tent only. There is no where good to turn around down this road. We have a full size truck with a pop up camper and had to make a 10 point turn to get flipped around.
