Glencoe Campsite
Nice campsite with clean facilites (toilets and sink) BUT BE CAREFULL !
We got stuck in the mud on the grassy area where we are supposed to camp with the van.
Even though it rained 2 days ago, the grass was fulled with water but we could only see it when we walked on it or drive with the car... Which was too late for us! Hopefully we found other campers to help us but ended up full of mud after 30 minutes of real desparation.
After that, we noticed that there were wheels traces in the mud everywhere on the grass... We were not the only one to whom it happened.
Check the terrain before you go on the grassy area or just park on the driveway in the camp!

Puketi Recreation Area Campsite
The worst experience on a campsite we have so far for the first time we pay for one night (we usually go to free camps).
Toilets were disgusting with several dozens of flies on each of them. We could not use them. No signal at all and very lost place with ungraveled road to access but still okay to drive. Lovely forest but did not worth the bad experience for us.
