Camped here for free many times in March. Long dirt road with potholes and washboard leading to campsites. I made it in my front wheel drive Hyundai. There are many upper campsites and also waterfront options. Listen at night for the wild mules! Careful, it gets windy sometimes
Beautiful area. A lot of place for camping for for everyone's taste. Hiking on former lake bank. People, leave no trace!!!
