2-3 not so private camp spots but pretty area to walk around.
Beautiful place to stay while in Lincoln National Forest. Paved roads so easy drive for any car. Can have a number of ppl on the weekends but it’s free! Weekdays are a little quieter. Nice scenic walking paths, maintained vault toilets, clean grounds. Would recommend a visit.
Beautiful area for those who appreciate nature, good for a nice hike, dress for the weather, bring your water and snacks. Remember to take your trash with you.
Great campground. Love the area. Dog friendly. Kid friendly. The sites are primitive with no running water. Portable bathroom.
A car (sedan) can easily make it here, all roads are pavement. One of my favorite places for quick weekend trips. Plenty of wildlife around this area.
