A Hidden Gem for Boondocking!

This little park is a hidden gem.  In fact, we stayed last weekend and nearly had the entire place to ourselves.  The park is small but offers a lot.  The Pine Rive runs along it so you'll see fly-fishermen in the morning.  There is a kayak launch and you can rent kayaks from a local company.  There is a cute country store at the entrance where your buy your camping pass.  It was only $10.55 for one night in our pop-up.  They seem to have all the necessities (beer, booze, & brats) and Sharon was very helpful.

There is water available from a well.  There is one port-potty near the boat landing.  It appeared to have been pumped recently but mosquitoes were hanging out inside.  The permanent bathroom structure was disgusting and I would avoid it.  We thought mosquitoes would be an issue being so close to the river but it was fine.  We did see a couple of skunks so made some noise to keep them away.  We used a generator and found a fire ring.  There was also a picnic structure.  Camp areas were not marked so you just grab a spot.  I noticed some soggy areas, too.  You might want to be careful of check ahead when there is a heavy rain as the park has been known to flood.  The trails are not long but very nice and afford nice views.

I probably wouldn't stay here longer than 2-3 days but we really liked it and will return with kayaks.
