Great site for primitive campers. Secluded location, quiet, remote. It had new water lines and a make shift outdoor shower house and an outhouse. Had it been warmer I would have used the shower.

I enjoyed my 2 night stay. It was quiet and the people were friendly. Amy was excellent in providing very important trail information. They were burning so she alerted me that it was recommended to stay off the trail to the west. Great communication. Booking was extremely easy, once I got to the campground and used the QR code.

I chose this place because it looked like a quiet and safe area to spend the night while I was solo traveling with my dog from Colorado to Missouri. We got in later around 10pm, spent the night in our 18ft RV, did a little nature walk in the morning, and then headed out at 9am. It was everything we needed. We went in November/off-season so we had the whole place to ourselves. I'd recommend and would visit in the future again.
