Little spooky, mostly magical

I pulled in here for a night and got the chance to see bears running around on the way in.  Hiked the water loop and was happy to see a nice swim area.  If you continue on the loop you'll come across a plantation historic site.  It's not on the campground map so I got a little spooked thinking I was in a A24 film.  I visited in June and this place was loaded with fireflies; my personal favorite.  All of the shady spots look like they'd be prime time for laying back and watching the fireflies bump around.  One even snuck in my car and I didn't realize until the next night.

This campsite is pretty barebones.  I went for an open site to be close to the bathroom and give my solar panel a chance to soak in the sun.  Firewood is available for sale and it's cheap, $5 for 10 pieces.  Unfortunately it was a little wet and hard to start.

BEWARE OF THE DEER coming and going out of this park.  I had the misfortune of hitting one on my way out.
