Wide open and easy access
Randall is the absolutely perfect host. As soon as we let him know we were here he came down to greet us and to see if there was anything that we needed. He helped us relocate the fire pit to where we wanted it and let us know he'd be glad to help start the fire. It's a large and level campsite right next to the stream. You can see a couple houses from here but they're all several hundred yards away. There was a perfectly fine spot for us to park our camper van.

Great spot right outside of Old Fort. Super convenient and tucked away off the road just enough to be private, but not too much of a hassle to get to. Randal was very welcoming and couldn’t have asked for more! I’ll admit I was a little nervous on crossing the bridge in my van, but all was good and already planning our next trip back!

Awesome spot
We loved staying in my camper on Randal’s land! It was the perfect spot to make a fire and get a good nights rest.

This was the perfect spot to car camp for one night! Directions were clear and it was nice to be next to the creek. The fire pit and free wood was a huge plus! As others have mentioned, there is some traffic noise, but it died down very quickly around 8:30/9 when I was there (on a weeknight). I didn’t have any trouble sleeping.
