I camped in this place for two seasons (2015 and 2016). I was really excited about it at first. It was secluded and on the primitive side, which I guess keeps it for the right crowd. But you do hear generators sometimes in the distance, and the spot appears to often be under a sky highway of low-flying planes. Two incidents turned me off: the mosquitoes and the stink bugs. If mosquitoes love you, go in spring and fall, but not summer. Also avoid stink bugs late fall because they come out IN DROVES! They will enter in every thing they find, including your hair and shirt and tent and bags, and between the car window cracks. They will winter in your car and fly into your face while driving next spring as they come out!!! These insects came over from Asia and they are now taking over large parts of the country. They don't bite, and the "stink" in the name is mild, but they are annoying enough to destroy every minute of your time, and land onto your eyes, tea, and mouth. They do so because they are trying to find a place to spend the winter. Also the water pump takes a lot of pumping to get you water, so take your water with you. On the bright side, I loved the mostly quiet setting and the breeze, and the lulling Hawk Creek when it is running strong. I was also able to have a strong signal with AT&T.
