Hidden campground, serene

This was our first trip to a DNR campground and it was lovely. Only 11 sites some spread out some close together all along the lyre river. It’s beautifully shaded but that adds to some dampness feeling in some of the sites with more growth.

We stayed in site 4, great for a single family tent, probably could squeeze in another, had room for our hammock.

2 vault toilets with 3 points for water access (1 next to #3, 1 by the shelter across from #6, and by the #9). There is a dumpster for garbage next to the shelter.

All that’s required for camping here is a Discover Pass. The recreation warden does come by to check at least once a day.

Cons: toilet was a little bit gross there’s a sign that it doesn’t get maintained on a daily basis. No TP after 12hrs, make sure to bring your own. -there appears to be some transient people that wander through, just keep an open eye. -there is private property adjacent to the camp ground, mostly feel marked and there are video cameras
