Quiet and Secluded

We drive to the end of Umber Ave and found two spots perfect for camping. We chose the one nestled next to the corn field. Perfect dispersed camp site with no road noise or visitors.

Public Hunting Spot

Small lot for hunters to park and go. For a secluded spot, good enough to camp. As long as you don't need any utilities.
