Mostly clean campsite (apart from dummies throwing some trash into the woods). Fairly quiet as it's not close to any major streets. Has a few water spouts shared between a couple campsites (no more than a 30 yard walk). A few clean portahouses also within walking distance from each spot. Each site has a parking spot and a separate flat area to pitch a tent. There's a claimed trail starting from the campsite to the lake, but it was not very well maintained in November when we went last - ended up blazing our own fun trail and connected to the trail close to the lake. Will be going again soon!
Nifty little campground good for off grid trips, small tents or back of the truck bed tents/camper. Not much flat ground but we managed to get a mostly flat spot for the night and enjoyed a fire with the kiddos. No host staying at the campground overnight to monitor anything going on so there was some rowdy campers and a few speedy vehicles zooming around for some reason. (We stayed mid week, not a busyweekend)
Great place to camp. Primitive camping with no electricity, but does have water fountains. Cost is $15 a night during summer and peal seasons. The cost is reduced once water is shut off for colder months.
I kind of campsite rustic a lot of privacy and right next to nature.
Lots of roomy campsites. 19 of them. 2 Pit toilets were available. We found a site that accommodated our hammock camping (#15). There were also 5 or 6 walk in sites for backpackers. Just over a mile trail lead to Burr Oak Lake State Park trail not far from Tom Jenkins Dam. There was campfire wood available outside of this Wayne National forest campground. Just drive left out of the campgrounds down the hill and to the right you will see a storage facility. This is where the wood is located.
