Each year I travel to the area to shoot professional fireworks for the 4th of July. I have recently taken up primitive camping (late in life, but love it now) and this campground provided a wonderful experience to accompany my favorite time of year. We found an absolutely beautiful spot along the Black River, for only $10/night! Plenty of space for our sleeping tent and supply tent, a picnic table, lantern pole, and a bench by the river. Showers and bathrooms were clean and plenty of hot water. The few folks we spoke to were friendly and pleasant. We even found a great swimming hole nearby. This was my second week-long primitive camping trip, and far from my last. It was a peaceful and beautiful spot in a lovely part of the Mark Twain Forest. Definitely recommend for primitive camping and/or some great nature activities.
