Deer graze through campsites at dawn and dusk, wild turkeys wander the loops, and owls call after dark. Bluebirds and woodpeckers work the trees. The mix of ecosystems means you can walk from shade to prairie to water in a short distance.

Lodging & AccommodationsScreened shelters are available, providing a rustic lodging option for campers. However, some users noted maintenance issues such as ant problems and poor door closures.
