If you want to get away from the crowds and be out in the woods, but not hours from civilization than this is a great campground ⛺️ choice for ya. This is a nice secluded campground on a reservoir that is stocked with fish. It is free to stay here but it only has pit toilets, nice picnic tables and fire pits.
Fair warning to fellow winter adventurers! The website says open year round, but the campground is virtually inaccessible during snow season. We had 4WD and chains, but nothing short of proper treads could have made it past all the ice and downed trees this January. We didn't let that stop us from having a good time, though! We brought our own Solo Stove fire pit and ended up pitching our tent just out by the side of the road at the last intersection about a mile and a half before the campground location. Despite the lack of toilets and picnic tables we still enjoyed the peaceful isolation for one night, as well as the gorgeous scenery on a leisurely hike down to the half-frozen reservoir the next morning. Not an experience for the faint of heart, but as long as you come prepared I give it a solid 4 stars. :)
The road up to the campground entrance is fine, but as soon as you get in, the roads turn to dirt. Not level dirt either, there were huge holes, and some roads were slanted sideways so the passenger side was much higher than the drivers side. We visited a couple days after it had rained, and our car ended up getting stuck in some mud. The campground seemed fine, and apparently the vault toilets were just replaced last year (2018). The area is nice, but not actually that close to the reservoir. We decided not to stay because we were worried our car would get stuck again.
Beautiful free campground with close by lake with great fishing.
Great little campsite with pit toilets clean and quiet beautiful trees everywhere! Definitely will be back!
