Great spot! Quite secluded and very very buggy. The trail to get to the campsite is a bit bumpy but is still manageable in a sedan, just take it slow. The campsite itself is quite spacious and has a campfire pit. The bugs are no joke though. The lake the campsite is on is a bit swampy so its mosquito heaven, definitely beware.
But aside from the bugs it was great. I have AT&T and had 1-2 bars of service, so it worked but just barely.

The drive is quite bumpy and narrow. It was a bit of a chore getting our 19' camper backed into the spot. A less experienced person would probably struggle but once we were set up it was amazing. Quiet for the most part. You can sometimes hear road noise. We caught bluegill and a few tiny Perch. We did have some people pull up at 10pm one night to fish, but they were considerate. Mosquitoes are ferocious so bring your bug spray. Overall very pleased.
