Upon arrival, almost everything is underwater but it is raining season. No camp host. Luckily my family had been there before and know where to go and how to get in. The camping area is not underwater so that's a plus but there is some dangers. Fallen tree limbs. The mosquitoes are absolutely horrendous. The water that is supposed to be provided in a tank is non existent.

It's an odd place to get to since you travel through 2 gates to make it happen but it's well worth it. The hosts are super friendly and helpful! We chatted with them for quite awhile and couldn't ask for anyone better to greet you at the gate. Remote and quiet camping and it's free! This is primitive camping, so theres no bathrooms, water, or electric. Be sure you come prepared. And make sure you check online to get your free permit.

Maybe it's just me, but I had trouble finding this site at first. When driving in on River Ranch rd, you have to pass through the Westgate (dude ranch / resort / casino) main gate & guard shack (this threw me off) before you turn right on Kicco Grade rd. Hosts are super helpful & friendly! Large oak trees dotted with pink and gray lichen provide visitors with beautiful scenery and plentiful shade. gravity-defying airplants and spanish moss cling to their gnarled limbs while young palm trees search for sunlight below. crawling along the canopy floor like wooden snakes, trunks explode into thick patches of dark green palm fronds, reaching upwards only in the sunniest of spots.
