Beautiful swimming and camping area with lovely trails! There is a vault toilet as well. Unfortunately they want you to camp in the open field instead of in the actual woods. Conservation is very important, please leave no trace.
We had the Buffalo National River to ourselves. Wonderful swimming hole. Good fishing spot.
