Been camping here since I was born! Great primitive camping with an outhouse type concrete bathroom.
Great campground , People there looked homeless . Would be a scary place with that crowd after dark. The forest needs to charge a camp fee so they can be made to leave.
Great place to spend the day swimming and just relaxing. I've been going there sense I was born, and love it
One of the most beautiful campsites I have ever camped at.
