Best not to say too much, wouldn't want to ruin the suprise for ya! We only that you bring a can liner so you can take your trash and recyclables with you when you leave. The invasive, non-biodegradable man-flower has no place in the backwoods. We'd like more time by the fire and less time walking around picking up debris left behind by other folks.

Site 1 is a good size, uneven ground but the latrine is straight across the road, good for campers and car campers, Site 2 is my favorite, mostly flat ground, a few good trees for hammocks, Site 3&4 is a lot like site 2 but a bit bigger, Site 5 is very cute, perfect for the tent or hammock camper, Site 6 is right by the bend in the road, very comfy with a camper parked in the right way, Site 7 is away from the rest of the sites, very close to the 509 road, large enough for a few campers parked there. With all that said, people leave trash laying around, beer cans, broken glass, garbage bags, clothes and unwanted gear. I also met several people who have no clue how to set up a tent, or start a fire. The animals in the area tend to stay away, but you'll hear them at times. As much as I like this place and enjoy the area, it saddens me that inexperienced campers are trashing the place.

Definitely off the beaten path. Campsites are not level and not good for larger vehicles. Anything over 20 feet will be a pain to maneuver in all but 2 sites. SUVs, small vans, and pick up truck campers will do best here. Bring your mosquito spray and be ready to be swarmed as soon as you get out of your vehicle.

We crashed here overnight on our way north, camping was free, campsite is a bit aged but nicely located. There's no electric, no ranger/host, but also no cost. Sites had a fire ring and a picnic table, there was an outhouse that we didn't need to use. We walked to the creek, trail was well worn and the creek was nice but access to the actual water was limited..
