Beautiful little spot on the Paint river. Tucked way back in the Ottawa national forest. No facilities, the camp sites are still mowed and cleared. Rustic camping to be sure, but no competition for spots. You can only drive there from the North, don't let Google try to take you to the south side of the river.
Old campground, no outhouse, no picnic table, good place to eat lunch, that's about it.
It's GONE ! Another cut in budget . Damn Shame ! These facilities where put in years ago , for future generations.. So much for that . GONE FOREVER !!
