No frills

Free primitive campground near a lake in William Logan. No frills camping at about 8-10 sites near the main entrance off Route RA, with most being in an open circle configuration with the main road cutting through the middle. The only vault toilet was closed and a porta potty was set next to that. There is also a lollipop loop with some really primitive and obviously rarely used campsites in the woods behind the main camp area. There are a couple hiking trails nearby. Fair warning- there is an active shooting range in the middle of the conservation area and it was BUSY when I was there. There are some larger stocked lakes with another primitive camping area but the road was temporarily closed, so I wasn’t able to check those out.
