Paul Schmitt

First come/first serve state forest campground. $17 and totally worth it. There is no electricity, a shared restroom, and water is available via pump. It was very quiet and it is very well taken care of.

26 very private and separated between many trees. The DNR guy is very nice and you will go around check on you make sure you're good you'll even offer you large bundles of wood for $5. You can even get doordash delivered there. However the cell service there sucks unless you have at&t. My Verizon barely had one bar.

Nice quite spot not far from the cities. Number of first-come-first-serve spots, all nicely secluded from one another. Easy access to river. New well and pump should offer drinking water. Simple toilets. Paul is a great host/caretaker!

The absolute basics in a beautiful location. Clean & well-maintained, but very simple: outhouses and, at the moment, no running water at all. Bring your own H20. The best part of this site is that I'd guess it's rarely full, so it's a guaranteed restful spot for very a very low price (you don't even have to pay the same day)!

Great place for a quick getaway. We drove up Friday after work and appeared to get the last site at ~4pm. There was some sites that opened Saturday morning and they quickly filled. Bathrooms are acceptable and fresh water on site. Fun trails throughout the woods, multiple landing/beaches for getting in/out of tubes. We were able to hike all along the North banks of the river and eventually wade back across to the campground. Didn’t catch any fish, but there was many people fishing in the late afternoon and admittedly, I’m a beginner. Billions of crawdads.

Beautiful and affordable. Lots of variety in campsite shapes and depths from the main campground road. Don't expect plumbing and we were unsure of the well quality. Bring your own drinking water. The pit latrines were suprisingly clean. Nice fishing spots just behind the campground.

Visited for one night in October and had a good time. Campsite was clean and well maintained. Easy access to the river from many of the sites and far away enough from main roads to be pretty quiet.
