Room to roam

Level RV and tent sites, only some have water and electric. Large sites, clean amenities. Main road lead to the lake. Visited mid May and it was self checkin.

Great area!

Come during the late summer/early fall to beat the crowds. Deam Wilderness is just down the road, with some of the best backcountry hiking in the Midwest.
