The campsite was really nice. A lot of space. If you do plan to go there, make sure to bring enough water. You will have to pump the water yourself, and believe me, is not the easiest one. And after all that work you notice the water is really dirty. It's not even good to take showers. So you will need water to cook and wash your food, not quite sure if you would dare to take a shower with it. While at the beach, we came across an adult black bear 🧸 Scary... but a unique expierence for us and the kids.
Secluded car camp ground with well water, restroom over septic tank but more recently built so better than you may expect from similar places. Fire pits are nice. It can accommodate large groups and large tents. Creek is close by but be careful with ticks. Plenty of fire wood if you bring your axe and saw
Very nice and open campsite. Had no issue housing 30 scouts and adults. BTW Adults, if you stay at campsite 3, there is a nice little alcove to set up tents.
Very nice, remote campground. Basic amenities.
Love it here. Great for groups. Try to keep it quiet for everyone else who is there. It was so overgrown at the actual rivers bend shore down the bottom of the trail that we turned back. This was July 25 2023.
The road out there needs severe maintenance and the hand pump for water didn't work. Otherwise a nice place.
