VERY out of the way place. Google maps took me down a MINIMUM MAINTENCE road to the east of it, but I found a better one to the west to get there.

VERY out of the way place. Google maps took me down a MINIMUM MAINTENCE road to the east of it, but I found a better one to the west to get there. Lots of bumpy old gravel roads to get there, but very secluded and quiet. Nice spots, with big cement fire pit and wooden picnic tables at each. There are a bunch of hiking trails I didn't explore.
The bathroom is very privative but useful. Little cement building, with a plastic sitter over a trench. Very outhouse like, but there was toilet paper there. No sink or water.
Just quiet and peaceful, middle of nowhere.

Vaulted toilets with no water or sanitizer typically. This is a beautiful park with a great observation platform and trails, nice picnic areas, and just beauty of the seasons. As for camping, though, you will be hauling in water and will not have electricity. It would be almost impossible to get anything big in the spots. Probably best for a small rv or tent. But, you get what you pay for. It is free. There are only a few spots, but this is a place to only go If you are desperate or for day use. It is very quiet, as it is several miles out on the gravel.
