Island Camping!!!

We decided to island camp here and boy was it an experience. Day one was perfect, despite some storms, we really enjoyed ourselves. Day two we had to pack up early, flies got so horrible and wouldn’t stop biting us!

Nice boon-docking area

Our family has camp here the last 4 years, sometimes twice a year. We like it for the family and grandkids because of the swimming area and pit toilets, which allows us to stay for about 3-4 days at time, you need to bring your own toilet paper and water. There used to be a store a couple of miles up the road from here, but the last time we camp, it was closed due to the spouse passing away. If you like boon docking, Kayaking, and fishing in a quite area, this is the place for you. Bring your Kayak and go Island hoping!

Free Camping

This is a nice very small campground that is free. The view is awesome. Great for free camping. The restroom is a pit toilet. The fishing is good and it's way up in the mountains. There is picnic tables, firepits, grills and a swim beach. Really good for a free campground. Take lanterns, and drinking water. It's really secluded.
