Free! Primitive! Almost perfect!! I needed a quiet peaceful place to camp and recharge my soul. This is the spot. It’s almost 100% because I love to swim and really needed to get away from a long winter; swimming is very primal for me. It’s 4.11.23 I’m aware now that I’d need to go more south to find warmer swimmable water so I went east toward the Ozark lakes 😅. There I found signs warning for ‘swim at your own risk, they do not check water for bacteria or water quality, warning for mud that could be a risk’ it was $10 a night cash or check however there was another camper and the experience became strange to say the least. I thought I’d have a better chance entering the water from the boat slant in the morning after, however it was -safer- to leave; so I quietly packed (@2am) and drove back to louisburg lake.

Feels safe here. It’s clean, quiet and it seems to be seldomly visited from what I’d assume locals (wave back) to fish or let dogs roam or bask in the beauty. I apologize to the locals because if I lived here I’d love to keep it secret, quiet and beautiful as it is, so leave no trace behind. At night you fall asleep under a clear view of the stars and the gentle water waves. There’s sounds of frogs, hawks, crickets and birds. The very last spot has a perfect arrangement for your tent, however, I did find a few ticks on my tent so I sprayed it down and was good, it is the season for those blood suckers. You can find wood laying about or can collect for the fire pit and sit on the benches. Absolutely recommend!! Obviously 🤣😂😅❤️
