Pretty run down

We were looking for a place near the caspers wilderness preserve because we couldn’t book the place we had through the weekend and needed to kill some time before heading to our next location. We took a drive by before booking and were VERY glad we did.

It’s not maintained regularly, debris all around landscape is over grown with many dead branches.

No room for an RV, maybe a camping van or pop top, but no room for a truck and trailer of any size.

If you need a place for tent camping in a pinch for a night it will do. But, I recommend the wilderness preserve down the road several miles (15-20 or so)
