Primative but it works

First, this is a great location. Out of the way and primitive and close to the lakes for good fishing. Not a lot of flash at this campground. Good size for sites for small pop us and tents. Pretty cramped for a big RV. This is a primitive site so no electricity or water hook ups, but we did find it suited us. There are a couple sites along water, and one site has a perfect boat access. The beach is a little questionable as it is murky and not much to it at all. This is a great location as a stopping point for other areas in the vicinity.
