Nice quiet National Forest Campground

We stayed here in mid-September. The water was turned off for the season. There was no fee to camp. Lots of openings mid-week. Filled up on weekends. Lots of ATV traffic. Otherwise quiet. Good fishing. Beautiful mild weather. Both tent and RV sites. Gorgeous drive to get here.
