Beautiful primitive camping

The Land Between the Lakes area is packed with campgrounds. This was one of the first I encountered as I headed south, and I didn't feel the need to look further. It is very, very nice. Note that this is a primitive campground, with just a single vault toilet and no potable water available on site. (The lovely town of Grand Rivers is just a few minutes away, though.) The upsides were the very reasonable fee, the lack of crowds, and the beautiful views. There was a slight fishy odor wafting up from the lake, but I'm not very sensitive to this and it didn't bother me. There was also a skunk hanging around the dumpster at dusk. I kept my distance and we didn't bother one another.

Aside from fishing, there isn't much to do here. However, I enjoyed staying here and left feeling refreshed. Quite a different experience from the crowded, civilized campgrounds.
