    "This allowed for a pretty distanced visit and relatively quiet experience in the middle of the country. If it was full, it could have been loud."

    "Half the sites are for people with horses and half are for those without. During my 2 night stay, most sites were empty. If it fills up, there is a campground just down the roads a piece. "
