I'm giving this place 5 stars just because it was exactly what I was looking for. There's plenty of parking and plenty of space to camp and the beach is large to spread out and chill to play in the river. If you come for the day it's perfect and Yaya is a great host. For camping though the land itself is great but it's very primitive camping which is fine if you're prepared. There is no water spigot so you need to bring all your water or bring a filter to drink from the river and there's no bathroom other than a port a potty. Also note there is a gun range very close to this campsite so you will hear the sounds of freedom until dark. Still, if you're ok with roughing it and having a nice relaxing time next to the water this place is for you.

Reasonable price for large beach area to swim on Styx River. You can even primative camp for a fee. It's a great place to pull off when floating or canoeing, too.
