Beautiful on the lake

What a gem! I was able to back to the water to have a gorgeous view from bed! It was so quiet last night, although the beaked neighbors get pretty chatty early.

There is a large puddle and so many mosquitos.

Is say there's comfortly room for eight campers or a small group.

My signal rating may be higher than normal as it's on an Intsy Connect antenna. My phone is getting 1 bar ATT.

Large clearing in the woods

This is a free dispersed camping site in the state forest with lake access. Large enough for multiple campers or a small group. There are four rings and a picnic table as well as a sandy boat launch.

ATT is usable enough that I probably won't try Starlink, but there may be enough clear sky.

The road in is good, but gets narrow after you turn off for the spot.
