Large open grassy field with two picnic tables and one long drop.
Could easily hold a couple dozen campers. You need to bring your own water. Nice river near by with a couple of small swimming holes.

As parking lots go, it's a goody.
Admistration building is between you and the highway so road noise isn't too bad. Very nice automated toilet that plays "what the world needs now is love sweet love" while you do your business; the toilet operates from 7:30 am till 10:30pm. Don't bother with the 'to go shop' across the street, food is pretty weak IMHO.
