"One shot at life " 11th annual weekend. My introductory invitation and I think it went well. Made some solid connections with a few cool people. Maybe some friends in the making???? More importantly, quality time with my dad. Thanks for sponsoring my induction into the group. I love you man.
Perfect spot to be if you want a lot of forest type scenery. You don’t need a 4x4 to get there, I used to to go in a 2wd ranger no problem. The clearance was good, but I wouldn’t go any smaller.
July 2019, updated campground since I was there last 10 years ago. Has 3 sites with bear lockers and several others around nearby with nice bathrooms. Didnt need four wheel drive pulling a small trailer with atv but can be a little rough with a car with loose rocks on the uphill. No water faucets but a small stream near the sites. No garbage cans available, so pack out what you bring in.
Beautiful trees and love the shade. I’m here on a Labor Day weekend and there’s still an open site. I’d rate it higher but there’s been a consistent roaring of pickups and dune buggies along the nearby forest road, even late into the night. They also kick up some dust, but not too noticeable. It’s probably better on other weekends though.
Also, the National Forest site says it has eight sites. But it’s clearly just set up for three, with three picnic tables with bear lockers. You could squeeze in other places of course and make friends with your neighbors to share their locker.
And it does have AT&T service surprisingly.
Brilliant location. About 3 miles on a dirt road from pavement. Road is rocky in areas, but I had no problem getting there in a 2wd S10. Certainly not for vehicles without significant ground clearance.
Nice stream running through the campground. Two pit toilets. Each site has a bear box, picnic table and a fire ring. Quiet, beautiful place.
