Boondocking on a lake

This is a free 14-day boondocking area on a beautiful lake. It's not a free for all, but rather there are a few areas you can camp. They have concrete picnic tables and fire rings.

It was pretty quiet on a Sunday night but it looked like there were a lot of folks on the weekend based on the deep tracks in the mud.

There are garbage cans and vault toilets.
