Very small camp site with limited RV sites.

There are only three spots in this cozy little campground, but I ended up being the first and only one here on a Tuesday in July. There are little trails to explore, but I took advantage of the empty campground and took a nap in my hammock in one of the day use areas on the other side of the creek. 

There is one vault toilet, no hookups, no water, and it would be a massive struggle to turn around a trailer or RV. No cell service. None of the sites border the creek, and none of them are particularly private, but they were all clean, and the creek is loud and pretty.
