Clean quiet spot. IDNR was very helpful. I would recommend this place for a quiet peaceful get away.

Love this place. One of few places within a 3 hour drive of Chicago where you can backpack. Last time I went I was able to book my site ahead of time online but had to book with the state forest employee on arrival this time. He was a nice guy.
