Drive in campground that is like a hike in site

If you like to rough it, but be able to drive to your campground, this is your place. Get back to nature here with no running water or electric. There is a clean outhouse and a well with a pump that has fresh cold water. Perfect spot to go down the river and then bike back and get your car or go down the river and get out at the bridge. There is group camping right on the river as well which makes it a great place to stop and stay a night as you go down the river as well. In addition we have almost always had the place to ourselves with only a random other camper here and there.
