Campsite: Great Lake Dispersed Site - Croatan National Forest

Not a comfortable feeling at all. This place looks like it could be pretty awesome but I guess there are just no funds or government desire to invest in it. The access road to the lake is in really good shape but everything is heavily overgrown at the end of the road at the "boat ramp". You could still launch a canoe or kayak from there but I would be worried about my vehicle the entire time I was on the water. The access road to what I thought were going to be primitive campsites is basically impassible. I was not willing to attempt those mud holes alone while running 35.5" M/T tires in my 7.3L as it is a very long walk down an very isolated road to get back to a very sketchy looking neighborhood. Several of the holes looked really deep and one looked like someone had thrown some large tree branches in there. Nowhere along the lake on the access road looked like a good place to primitive camp although I did now walk down the whole road as it was raining. Most spots that looked like they once could have been campsites had growth so thick that you couldn't see the lake and there would have been nowhere to hang a hammock if you wanted to hammock camp. It's really kind of sad because what I was able to see of the lake looked very serene and beautiful.
