This campsite. formerly known as Site Z, Is located on the south bank of the crooked river about 4 miles east of

My Report:

This is a wooded site along the south shore of the Crooked River. It consists of five sites and will accomodate 10 campers. The are picnic tables, fire rings, and typical state park grills for cooking.

Campsite Z

The take out consists of mud and oyster shell, sand and grass away from the ramp.

Note: Campsite cannot be permitted for the entire length of hunting season by one user, so it has a better chance of being open for paddlers during this time.
