Bouton Lake Campspot | Wild Camping

We came here because the reviews said it was quiet and not a lot of people.
That was far from the truth. It was a nice campsite with a table and fire pit. There's also a rope swing to jump in the water. Great view.
That's where the pros end. A few minutes after we set up camp, people started target practicing with ARs. It was so loud. We don't mind people shooting but it went on for 4 hours and they kept doing it after it got dark. We couldn't sleep. There was also a large dog barking the entire time and some kind of concert going on. It would've been a fantastic spot, but it was the loudest place we've ever camped at.
Looking closer at Google maps we realized too late that we were in a small triangle of the NF and there were houses all around. If we ever come back we will be staying at a campsite farther into the NF.

Quiet campsite nestled between the pine trees. Stopped for the night. We’re the only ones here. There is a house about a 1/3 of a mile down the road. Nice lake, I wouldn’t want to swim or bath in it. I wish I would of had a fishing pole, I bet there’s some catfish and bluegill in there. Good place for a night. There is some trash left behind by others. Easy drive in if it hasn’t rained. Two bars Verizon cellular service. Posting from campsite

Lots of trash left here. Garbage people are going to ruin this for everyone. Otherwise its a great spot.
