Bill’s near the camp was very helpful. The original weather report was low to mid 90’s. Bill’s was a refuge for more pounds of ice and gallons of water. The camp site is barebones. The toilets are disinfected regularly. The water is at a pump, iodinated, and recommended to be boiled before consuming. You must carry out your trash. Lots of trail bikers. Simple hike. Creek is near by.

This place is really nice. The bathrooms were clean, it was well maintained. The campground itself was perfect. We had an amazing view and in the evening you can see the stars. The fire pit was nice and worked well. I recommend this place.

We selected a great campsite but considered it expensive for being a primitive campground. Mostly quiet no idiots with radios despite being a holiday weekend. Very busy boat ramp nearby, but the river was clean and refreshing after a hot humid bike ride. The Little Orleans Campground campstore was within a mile and was welcome for ice cream and last minute necessities. Will definitely be back.
