Small, (6-8 sites maybe) rustic, free, campground with fire pits and picnic tables. Pit toilets and dumpster on site. Lots of hiking trails (with horses). Dogs on leash welcome.

I went just for camping, but looks like a great place to trailer in horses and go for a trail ride. Beautiful location. Fire pits and picnic tables at every campsite. $5 per night for camping is a small fee compared to how nice it is. Only downside was the door to the pit toilet wasn't sitting in the frame correctly anymore and couldn't be locked, but that seems like an easy fix the next time maintenance comes by there.
