I car camped here in late March 2021. I had the place to myself and got to capture the Milky Way over the wind turbines. It was very enjoyable.

This is a pretty nice place. Has free camping and a outhouse. No electricity no water very basic very primitive. If you are coming to hunt deer you better be in shape. Very thick timbers and heavily vegetated swamp areas with thick cattails and grasses.

Lights on the horizon obscure the Milky Way, but when it's higher it may be visible with the eye. Higher up thousands of stars.

Some of the best night sky's around. This was my first visit, but it won't be my last.

This is a great dark sky site. Far enough away from the city lights but close enough to home.
