I will submit after my free camping experience

I searched everywhere but everyone is more about making money, and then there are a few that are simply free(dry camping), first come fist serve I would guess. But we are head there now, and if we find a spot to pitch our tent for awhile, then I will update any review you need. On our way(FYI, we are disabled, seniors, and I am a Vetran on fixed income, thus cannot afford all these permits.). Try this place my friends!

Nasty bathrooms, beautiful views, dirty sites

This campground has a lot of potential. The sites are large and have beautiful views although they’re not very private. However, the site I was in (11) was covered with trash and cigarette butts. The bathrooms were a pretty good walk away and we’re your classic disgusting pit toilets. That being said, it was relatively quiet except for the occasional atv across the water, and the views are beautiful.
