Great access to Cameron, Lincoln, Democrat, and Bross. Road up there is a bid rough for a 2wd car, but we made it. Bross is currently closed.
Gorgeous and highly recommended. It’s above the tree line so don’t expect shade but do expect incredible views. Didn’t camp here but could imagine that’s got beautiful views of the stars. You can drive all the way to the lake but note the road gets rough as you get close so definitely bring AWD.
There’s also not much parking so plan on a bit of a hike to be safe, probably a quarter mile or so.
