Paradise for nature lovers

A beautiful spot. It is an old abandoned forest campground. I believe it was last maintained in the 80's. It is overgrown in some spots, but most are intact, some still with the site numbers. Lots of wildlife. I saw several deer, a couple beavers in the pond, racoons, and on the last day a bear and 2 cubs. So keep that in mind. There's a trail that leads off by the old damn that leads to an old gravesite with stones from the 1800's. Hard to find, bit rewarding. If you like solitude love this place. A small class c or travel trailer might make it into a few sites, best for vans and tents
