Weekend Trip to Easton’s Castle/O-TE-LA Camp

We tent camped with our kids here. It's secluded which we like with trees. It didn't have a working shower and the bathrooms are portapotties. There are some trails and it's primitive only. We enjoyed our time here and the kids liked walking around the property. Be prepared for mosquitos since the land has standing water on and near it. Bring your own chairs too. We had our dog who roamed the first day until other campers came then we leashed her. We saw several deer. Overall good time for our needs. Biggest downside is the train being right there and if you are a light sleeper it would make it hard to sleep.
