Nice campsite for hanging out in a tent for a few days. Would’ve like to have access to the water a little better but really nice campsite

I was fortunate and found a site with little trash. Many others hadn't been cleaned up. The fire pit was in good order. I was the only person using the whole campground on a Wednesday, which warrants the five star review from me.
