Primitive but with a restroom

When I arrived there was stragglers hanging out either fishing or just hanging out. Once they were asked to leave, they left without an issue. Camp supervisor stated that the one guy gets run off all the time. Not sure why. They also said to watch for raccoons and snakes. The campsite looks good. I will add more pictures and videos after a couple days to update my review. I choose site 15 based off other reviews on the app.

Private property

I used the directions from the app and it took us to a road that said no trespassing. We obviously turned around. It was also getting dark so I didn’t want to keep looking.

Great spot on the river

This was a great little free location to camp along the river. I was able to get the spot at the end of the lot that's surrounded by water on three sides. There's no electric here but there are little tables, fire pits, and lantern posts, as well as a couple dumpsters and a restroom. Sky was clear and cool the evening I stayed, would definitely camp here again.
