Rustic

Been there many times.  Very few people, maybe 1-2 family's.  Usually just Forestry groups and they leave early.   Small Creek runs near the sites with little brookies.  Study area near by pay attention where you are fishing. No dumping but there are toilets.  Site has large fire rings but make sure you are allowed to burn.  Usually restrictions by end of season.  One of my favorite places to get away.
