Nice spot

About 5 miles in on a dirt road, but the sites are pretty nice and secluded.

Decently far from the road among small lakes

Enjoy the road as it winds you between many lakes on the way to Henry Lake. 5 miles of well kept gravel road. It gets bumpier on the last leg to the campground.

A small campground with one loop awaits you. A variety of nice sites with plenty of shade can be found. All of them were empty when we arrived - it was mid-week. It might be different on the weekends. There really seems to be fishing and relaxing in camp as your options. It is a beautiful spot in a peaceful and quiet setting.

Side note. On our visit we passed a group hanging out by their trucks just as we turned off the highway. By the time we got to the campground one of the trucks was following us. We didn’t feel comfortable so we left (always trust your intuition). We passed the whole group of trucks on our way out as they headed back towards the campground. It may have just been coincidence but we felt better moving on to another spot
