I seen around 20 of these pilings in this area and I think there were at least two different structures here.There are a couple of old metal chimney/vents here too.There also a foundation within a hundred feet to the north that is used as part of the bike trail. A mountain bike trail now goes through here so watch out for bikes when visiting.Camp Murphy was a RADAR school in WWII.There were almost a 1000 buildings at this camp at one time.Most were sold off when it was closed.Some evidence remains.Camp Murphy was opened in 1942.After it was decommissioned it was turned into a State Park in 1950.
