GuideNice but crowded long drive in.
Nice but super crowded on the weekend.
ScoutLove it here!
It’s a free campsite so it’s first come first serve and everyone we’ve met so far there have been the friendliest of people. There’s a drop toilet which are pretty still smell though. Each campsite has a concrete table, fire pit, and tent platform. Some have direct access to the creek. Great hikes around and good place to fish and hunt.

I’ve ridden a bike through here several times over the years and finally we got to stay here . Super quiet when we were there in March . Toilet could be cleaner but at least it’s there . Nice creek view through the side of the campground , likely no cell service unless you go one way or another up the mountain . Many places to explore on bike or hiking . Super remote area , ride were in decent shape , I could see them being bad after a heavy storm . Gravel 7 miles to here .
