Nice Place

This campground is at least 30 miles either way on F13 (dirt road to campgr )and other RTS to any type of civilization. There are alot of logging trucks who use the road during the day and other vehicles but at night total quiet just the wildlife. There are vault toilets and a water spigot . They say non potable but there are no signs. The river is beautiful to boat or kayak and fish.

Sitethe sites are not marked but we stayed closest to the river.

Quick getaway

Nice spot for a quick getaway from city life. It’s near hunting and lots of road noise from the nearby bridge but overall it’s a nice overnight getaway from the daily grind. There’s toilets and a non potable spigot to clean off personal items.
