It was okay

Very rustic.. Wasn't terrible since we got to stay free because of no water on site .. Luckily we always bring a bunch of our own water, in case of emergencies. It was cool because we had a spot backed up to wooded area and private but definitely creepy being out in middle of nowhere in the pitch black. No light whatsoever. Other then that it was very peaceful!

Sitewas backed up to woods.. think it was 3

Nice Location

Had an ok experience staying at Garey Lake, unfortunately though the pump well wasn't working. The vault toilets could have used a little more TLC, overall though a nice campground.
