Customer Reviews
This site is a free oasis in a sea of paid sites. The problem is that it's surrounded by private land and is a small area. Seems strange it's reserved for camping. Other than the weird location, it's primitive camping so expect to bring everything yourself. Left early, only because someone had the whole site and decided to take the one right next to me. If that didn't happen, I probably would've stayed longer.
