While there is a county-maintained dirt road alongside the site and the town of Mora is just a few miles away, this is indeed a retreat. There is River Camp 1 and River Camp 2 (unmarked). I reserved River Camp 1 and loved every moment. River Camp 1 is located off of the river but the rushing river/stream was still easily accessible through the gate and around. There is a another dirt road that cuts through the property and I learned it is for access to an amazing working ranch up on the ridge. You can walk up the road or, preferably, take the cattle trail up the side of the ridge overlooking River Camp 1, for a stunning view of the snow-topped Sangre de Cristo mountains recovering from the the devastating fire, and a few back steps and over to a a surprising overlook of one of the most beautiful working ranches I have seen. All in all, you are left alone to your thoughts and deep privacy. An awesome place.

Great place. We used only the walk-in camping site, which I highly recommend unless you have a camper or trailer. Walking distance to beautiful beaches along Lake Michigan. Great biking area, too. 1.5 hours from Chicago but a lovely place with nice people all around
