Nice Stop

Easy access driving from KC to Springfield for a quick overnight boondock. Place was totally empty but I felt secure. Evidence of teenage behavior was apparent so not sure if it is always so quiet. Stayed on a Wed night in April after a thunderstorm. Would stop again.

Great spot

This is great secluded spot, right off the highway. Perfect for what I was looking for to car camp.
