What a great place to camp! The rushing trout stream is the perfect white noise to fall asleep by! Only a mile from the amazing Joyce Kilmer wilderness, And near to a road that takes you to a scenic overlook directly above.. no cell service at the site, but you can get messages if you drive up to the overlook.
Very peaceful….
