Hunting Camp

This is a fairly basic primitive hunting camp, directly next to a road, with one structure that can provide shelter. There were no toilets when I went. It has an initial appearance of being basically a parking lot, but is actually pretty cool if you venture off into the woods a bit more. I followed the road/trail in for a while. Probably a game management route, but there were a number of good spots off on the side where you can set up.

Hunters camp

It's a Primitive camping area for Hunters during hunting season. There are no water or electrical hook-ups, but they do have two port-o-potties.
It's free for public use, but we like coming to National Forest camp sites so we got a limited use permit to help with maintenance costs.
 We were here the last day of hunting season and watched a deer being processed.
 Nice quiet place to overnight.
