    Mitchell Lake

    A Pleasant Surprise

    Despite the fact this campground had no reviews here, and just looked like a boat dock when we looked at it on Google maps, we took a chance because we needed to be close to McClusky the following morning.

    It was beautiful, quiet, there were two picnic tables including one under a portico and even a dumpster. The sign at the entrance only really said they don't like you to leave things behind to hold a spot.

    We have a Class B camper so we had our own toilet with us. It was a beautiful place to wake up the following morning. Some of the nicest free camping we've ever done!

    To be fair, we were there on a weekday in late September, maybe it's busier during high summer. Still, highly recommend.
