Beautiful, remote group camping site. Lots of cows, wild turkeys, coyotes, newts, snakes & hawks! But no functioning water - it was broken for a group of 60! And a 4- car maximum is not sufficient for large groups. Porta=potties hadn't been emptied in a long time. Parking is a mile down the road. Wind can be severe in the lower field.
It's got everything. I little hike to get to. Water and outhouses. A structure to get out the weather in and have a fire. Lots of picnic tables. You use it for a picnic for free if it isn't reserved for camping.
Small hike. Green. Newts. Campbase. Cows. Lots of nature.
