Great for climbing
This is a great spot in the area to try out some top-rope climbing, get in some amazing views, and enjoy nice camping while you are at it. You have to hike in a little way to get to the campground/climbing and it can be a little challenging to find so consult a map and some of the many online guidebooks. The views, however, are well worth it and the campground is hidden in a rock so it is well protected and has a nice campfire.
There is no water at the site so make sure you hike in with whatever you need. The campsite itself is large enough for 1 or maybe 2 tents though there is plenty of trees for a bunch of hammocks.
