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.

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.
