Tent campers who carry all their own water and a waste kit will find this hard to beat on a summer weekday. The oak-pine canopy keeps sites shaded, the access road is quiet enough to hike or ride, and that spring-fed stream 2.6 miles east is worth the walk after a hot afternoon.
No toilets at all right now (the facilities are closed pending servicing), no potable water on-site, and a partial closure on 22N11 Road means you need to confirm access before you leave home. Car campers expecting any developed amenities will be frustrated.

<p>There are six fire rings and 10 picnic tables. There is a stream with a spring pipe if you continue 2.6 miles east of the campground on the road. The road is nice for hiking and biking because of limited traffic. The campground is full of mature oaks and pines and there is plenty of firewood in the area. </p>

Summer is the most reliable window here. Mid-70s to low-80s during the day, dropping into the 40s and 50s at night. Conditions are dry, the road is passable, and the stream is pleasant for wading. Weekends see moderate traffic; weekdays are quieter. Late summer brings fire risk, so check conditions before you go. Winter can dump snow at this elevation, limiting access and turning the campground into a seasonal closure candidate.
Summer is most reliable: mid-70s to low-80s, dry, road passable and wading pleasant.
