Small campground

This was a small campground but nice sites on the water with outhouses near by. $15 per night. Very nice fire rings but lack of firewood for sale anywhere near by. Lots of thorns in the brush.

LOVED it!

There are a few miles of dirt road you have to endure to get to the campground on forest roads but the road is not bad at all. 

I spent three nights here with my RV dry camping. The area campgrounds are usually in the forest with bad solar, but this one is by a lake and I had GREAT solar days. I was able to keep my battery charged.

Getting water is a real workout, you have to pump the water and it comes out really slow. Maybe I wasn't strong enough. I gave up after working out for 10 minutes for a couple of gallons of water, I was exhausted!!!

If you like kayaking, boating and/or off-roading you will really enjoy this place! There are off-road trails nearby. There is a boat launch. You can hike around the forest roads….

The sites are pretty level, all come with a bench and fire ring. 

When I arrived, only two sites were taken, more people came the next day to spend the weekend there. Many off-roaders.

AT&T signal was amazing! I was able to watch Netflix and also get my work done. 

It's a national campground, you will have to self-check-in

Overall I really loved this place, it was quiet, pretty, and I will be back if Im in the area again!

Campground environs affected by recent storms

This is a typical rustic state forest campground located on a couple of lakes with a great fishing reputation. Though each campsite is pretty large and new picnic tables have been installed, the campground overall is in a bit rough shape due to passing storms in recent years that have caused a lot if tree fall. Not only is most if the campground missing a forest canopy due to loss of trees, the campground itself is a bit scruffy due to ongoing maintenance, and the surrounding locale seems to still have a lot of logging going on as part of the clean up. So, this might be a bit of a drawback for some folks. It is a quiet rustic location though, and for fishermen the two lakes on either side are great. There is also an extensive ATV trail network that runs through the area for those who like exploring on ATVs, so that would be a plus for some folks but a drawback for others
