Great spot for water access

Probably about 12-15 sites, small, just fire pits. Has 1 bathroom and place for trash. Right along the river so nice if your looking for water. I arrived at 6 on a Saturday (post labor day) and plenty of sites available. A couple of families/kids here but not too loud. 8 miles is dirt but my Nissan Rogue did fine.
