I think this place is great

Friday afternoon 5:00 finished out my work day here. I've had great wireless I'm getting 5G Verizon believe it or not. We're the only ones here it is pretty rustic coming in so if your camper is very sensitive you need to take your time. But the river is going past it's lazy it's quiet I hope it stays quiet all nice and it's $20. Hi Summer might be hot most of the park spots are in the sun but if you had a tent you can find a shady spot down by the river. Their are mosquitoes this year and I don't think the four wheeler trails are highly used I was hoping there would be hiking trails we'll probably just stay one night because the limited walking and I won't go in the high grass with the ticks in the mosquitoes. But it's beautiful I'll upload some pictures in a video.

Loved it! Great views and dirt bike trails

We arrived super late on Friday night and were worried we wouldn't find a site because it's FCFS, but all the sites were empty! It's primitive - 1 outhouse, fire pits and picnic tables at each site - which was all we needed :) There is a pretty stream about 500 feet from the site and some really fun dirt bike trails. The view of the bluffs were amazing.
