Decent

Not far from town but well hidden. Nice creek but REDNECK TRASHED. Tons of trash, shotgun shells, etc. I couldn’t pack all of it out. Pretty spot just trash.

Nice spot for the night!

We saw two nice campsites along this dirt road that was only a couple miles from the highway. They must have cleaned it up recently because there wasn’t trash and the bathrooms were nice and clean and had TP. Just a pit toilet. Also fire rings with grates, and nice sturdy picnic tables. Minimal road traffic. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect place for guns, beer, garbage and all night parties

We were greatly disappointed to find this campground full of trash, dog poo, and beer cans. Rowdy parties and gunshots all through the night really made it the wild west experience we could have skipped. It is a lovely spot so when it gets developed and maintained I would give it another try.

Lots of trees

Sites Right along the river. A few sites are in a cul de sac style and would be great for group camping. The other two are fairly secluded. No water. No garbage. There is a Vaulted toilet. Each site has fire ring and a picnic table.
