Free primitive camping

This is run by the county and there are a number of spots to stop and camp. There's no services but fire rings. And you simply pull in and park next to your site. The lake is cute I'm guessing in the summer it's very busy it's very close to Center. There's no numbers no anything just open grassy spots.
