Down on the farm

No fees No water No open fires No cell Pack it in Pack it out 

A beautiful peaceful campground. It looks more like a small pasture that has not been mowed. I would use a tick spray, not sure about chiggers. We spray to be safe. Possible snakes in the tall grass. This site can handle anything that is willing to travel on the road. The road in is a good “dirt” farm road. As long as it hasn’t rained in a few days and does not rain while you are camped the way in and out will be good. If it has rained or does rain this road will become nasty. Traffic on the road is by farm truck or tractors without an issue of getting out. If it has or does rain the road will become very slick rutted. Sunsets are amazing. Farm land surrounds the grassland. The site is bit enough to handle just about anything that is willing to travel a dirt road. There is a perimeter of tress and bushes that enclose the area. We backed up to the perimeter and set camp. The pit toilet is new and would be at home in any campground. Super clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. There is also a boat ramp or you can fish from the shore. The Augustana University has established a Milkweed Project Garden which looks promising. No cell service. No shopping. Bring your supplies with you.
