We went Jan 1st of 2022 and it was fabulous! Gentle breeze from the forest, beautiful weather, clear skies, great and secluded time with your group. More than enough space to sprawl out. Clean and a lot of picnic tables. A must! Juniper Springs is 22 min away as well. Prepare your own portable toilet, if you don't want to walk several hundred feet to the outpost bathroom. Bring your own portable batteries/solar. Primitive style. We saw some hunting dogs in the area, but they were friendly. It was kind of awkward, but understandable!
