Small but does the job

Small campground with only a few tables and sites at it with one toilet. Unfortunately a lot of damage was done during the fires. Can get very hot in the summer with limited shade. If you you’re out dirt biking or four wheeling definitely a good pick away from everyone else in the OHV park.
