Sign is down

The sign designating Saddle Bayou Campground fell into the ditch in early 2019. As of August 2019 it is still down, so if you are trying to find this campground for the first time, please note that there is no sign visible. Otherwise it is a nice primitive campground, no running water but dump toilets are available. No designated camp sites, just find a good spot and pitch your tent.

Bears and hogs can look alike

This is a hunters paradise campground. Dispersed camping with vault toilets and nothing else. The grounds are over grown bc it's not hunting season but it was peaceful and quiet.

There are obvious spots where others have camped. Lots of firewood to burn and woods to explore.
