\nThis is an excellent campsite for anyone planning to kayak to Cypress Springs. The launch area is just a short and easy carry from the campsite to the river, making it a convenient basecamp for exploring the area.<\/p>\n

The campsite is free, but reservations are required. <\/p>\n

There is a porta-potty available on site, though I prefer bringing my portable shower tent with a toilet seat and wag bags for added comfort and privacy.<\/p>\n

One of the unexpected charms of the campground is the small group of cats that live nearby. They tend to watch visitors from a distance, and during our stay a local woman stopped by to feed them. <\/p>\n

The area is also a haven for bird lovers\u2014we saw and heard numerous woodpeckers throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The campground has only three sites, so it feels quiet and uncrowded. A covered picnic table provides a nice place to cook, eat, or relax out of the sun. We stayed at Site #1 and found it to be a great base for our kayaking adventure.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
