I have camped here many times over 20yrs. There are 3 campgrounds on property, 1 is for horse camping, 1 is very hard to get to(no campers will make it to this campgrounds, people also go there to party), 1 near the forest office has a few site that a small camper could setup. Over the years the property has been logged a couple of times and in rough shape. There is water available(not at camp sites). The trails are mainly for horse riding, so they are pretty muddy. There is a lot of wildlife to see.

Primitive camping

Simple but beautiful wooded park with some nice bluffs and trees galore The campgrounds (there are 3) do not take reservations. They are very basic but I think they all have water. One is a separate horse camp, it was fun to see so many horses on the trails and talk to the riders. They do some forestry work but it wasn’t loud.
