Campground Layout and Features
This campground has 5 camping bays. However, at the time of our visit one of the sites was filled with rubble. If need be there is the possibility of camping close to the road.
The sites are fairly level on a sandy base. The campground is surrounded by tall trees, making solar battery recharging difficult. Each site is separated from others by trees and shrubbery. The sites are fairly private.
No facilities are provided so you need to be totally self-sufficient.
The site is close to a day use area where toilets are located. The area also has BBQs.
