County Road O Landing

This is a great launch spot. Our 24’ Van fit well, but I wouldn’t bring anything much larger as there isn’ta whole lot of room to turn around, especially if others are there. The “road” to the two tent sites is blocked with a boulder. There is enough room for maybe six standard vehicles. Paved road in is lovely until 1.5 miles out, then it is rutted gravel.

Area was well maintained. Landing was easy to launch off from and sandy area was nice for my kayaks. The river was beautiful and we saw a variety of wildlife. Vault toilets were clean (until one particular family arrived) and most people were respectful of other campers and abided by the quiet hours.

Only bad part of the entire weekend was there were two families sharing one end of the group area. Two of the adults from one family were not friendly, they chopped down small trees to burn, and were speaking harshly to each other. One of the men had a handgun holstered in his belt the entire weekend. They also trashed the bathroom (if you miss the large hole, clean up after yourself!!!) and left garbage strewn on the hiking trail. We were relieved when they left after our first night there.

We enjoyed watching a snapping turtle lay her eggs on the bank near my tent. She let us get about five feet away and photograph her. Also enjoyed chatting with the very few other people who were on the river. Hiking trails were nice. We would highly recommend camping here.
