Great experience!

This was our 2nd campsite on a 3 day kayak camping trip. The site was clean and well maintained. It had a canoe only and a traditional campground area. There’s a party store about a quarter mile down the road that sells firewood if you have difficulty scavenging dead trees. 3 vault toilets. A dumpster. Functioning potable water pump.
