    It was a nice, quiet, and peaceful one night stay. About 15 miles off the interstate. Well worth the short drive to enjoy the peacefulness.

    There is a small fee to get in. I have an annual pass so I don't remember the price but it is very small, around $2-$4. The campgrounds were very nice and in the trees. They had electric and water. A river went thru it and it had tubing. I also saw kayaks or canoes also but I don't know the cost. When I was there in September, they were closed. They had several campgrounds spaced around the area and a section for tents. We didn't see any trails but the campground and road was good for walking or biking.
