Lovely Primitive Campground

I enjoyed my stay in this wooded campground. The sites were equipped with fire rings and picnic tables and level, gravel areas to park cars In front of your site. You couldn't pull your car into the site because of the wood bollards but I think that is a good thing.

There was a set of 2 well-maintained pit toilets. A Creek ran nearby the campground and there were options for trails. The campsites were well spaced apart.
