Perfect get away

We were looking for dispersed camping and this was perfect. We do have some neighbors but they are far enough away. Each camp is pretty surrounded by trees. Each camp have a fire pit and a picnic table which is very convenient. There’s also a single vault toilet across the street from the camp sites. Lots of trees. Some raccoon critter friends. Some birds that scream like people, which is pretty comical. The sites are first come first serve.
