I had no idea any of them were there either. I happened to discover them by volunteering for one of the MST workdays and got randomly assigned to do some work at the Ward family camp site.
The trail guide for section 10 from their web site lists all the campsites as well. It's easier to find them on the downloaded pdf trail guide than clicking on the links for the individual days hikes (the possum track campsite is not listed on the Day Hike "D" link but it is still listed on the downloaded pdf). The MST camps are primitive but all have picnic tables. The official sites for Possum Track are well back from the water but the closer you get to the water the more "campsites" you see that people have made on their own including some fire rings....I wonder if that is why the site is no longer listed on the day hike links.....

I am still on the fence about coming, if I do I will have my boys with me 5 & 7. Weather doesn't look like it's cooperating at the moment.
