Quiet and small

Only 3 true campsites here in this free campground(tho it looks like there could be two more in the tall grass). Each has the standard picnic table and fire pit and there is a pit toilet. No water. But you have some steep access to the lake for swimming or boating and there are huckleberries! Quiet except for the neighbors generator. Not much road noise or dust.
