Nice little primitive place

It's just numbered spots with fire rings and picnic tables. I tent camp so it was perfect for me and I really liked it.

Correct Location of Merimwether Lewis Campground

This is pinned wrong on Dyrt. If you clicked Waze directions on the other pin and you’re heading down Jennie Smith road, you’re heading the wrong way.

Sites a little closer than I like and no showers, but the ride in was beautiful and it’s free. Good place for a stopover.
