RVs are not recommended due to lack of amenities. The area is flat and wooded with wetlands, popular for hunting, birding, and solitude. Scenery is quiet and rustic with minimal development. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall. For a more managed experience, consider nearby Sterling State Park, which offers full amenities.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
