“A Bit Tight For Bigger Rigs”

Reviewed 10/16/2022

Nightly rate:	FREE!
Days stayed:	1
Site Number:	0
RV Length:	28' (Travel Trailer)

Overall Rating

I stayed here one night. Cell for T-Mo is roaming on US Cellular.
The site was a mile in on a washboard road. No access problems. It seemed a little smaller that the google map photos indicated. I tried turning my rig around and had to play the fwd-bck-fwd-bck game. There is some very soft sand once you get off the gravel. I eventually pulled all the way forward and back onto the road. Then I backed up on the road and pulled in fwd. The site fit my f150 and 28’ rig perfectly.
One word of caution. STICKERS! After spending quite a few minutes pulling stickers out of my dogs feet, I ended up carrying him to the gravel road to do his business.
Scenery was nice! Water/Marsh views. Nice sunset! Quite a few birds. There is no shade so it could be hot in the summer.
