Scout's Honor, this is the real dispersed campground

There are NO AMENITIES at this collection of dispersed camp sites. It's really is the place the boy scouts used to go "way back in the day" to learn camping skills, fire skills, knot tying skills and badges after a weekend in the woods.  It is within a half mile (or less) of Dispersed LB-154, and mimics it, except there still exists the old road coming in and circling around. There are currently several rock fire rings in different areas other people had camped, and this area is very usable for a group. It is also very over grown, hasn't been mowed or maintained in more than 8 or 10 years (according to the Park Rangers), and "not for the faint of heart" (same Ranger!) There is one road in and the same road out, leading off of FS-154. From the one side, you can look across the water and see Dispersed Site LB-154. There is no drinking water, no toilets, no port-a-john, nothing here but quiet. There is an old concrete pylon sticking out of the water, possibly from an old bridge, or maybe an old dock being it was actually a camp for kids in it's past. There were a lot of persimmon trees loaded with fruit, if you'd like to make jam.
