Larger of the non-horse camps of the Yellow River State Forest. Well-spaced sites and a surprisingly manicured look with paved roads. Inexpensive though primitive sites.

Great place to stay. Primitive camping (no electric or showers), but clean bathroom (outhouse) facilities. Firewood and ice are available for reasonable prices.

While the campground is well kept, people have loud generators but you're not allowed to bring a chainsaw. Wood is pricy.
