Great Boondocking Spot

We wanted an off the beaten path experience and we certainly got it here. There are a bunch of sites further back with turning spots, we have a 20ft camper and there was plenty of room to move around. There are multiple spaces to park with fire pits.

Great Area

We drove a little bit further along the road and just wanted to turn around and found another Campsite there. Great area, seems like some people also built a firepit, although we didn't use that. Took a walk around and the forest is beautiful.

Nice dispersed campground place

We came in around 8PM in July and there was plenty of space. Only one other camper there. A close to the main road but still quiet. Would go back

Two completely different experiences

I camped here for a night almost a year ago exactly (June 2021) & it became one of my favorite dispersed sites I’ve ever been at. I stayed there again a few nights ago (May 2022) & it was my worst experience camping. We got there at sunset to set up camp & as soon as the sun went down, we were I cared by these little beetles. I’ve never experienced anything like it. We were either in our car or the tent to avoid them. It made making dinner & relaxing literally impossible. As much as I loved my first visit here, those beetles ruined it for me & I will not be returning to this campsite.

Not busy

I was here when there was snow on the ground so it wasn't very busy. Doesn't look designated, but plenty of space to park in. Pretty close to the main road and town, so you're not too far away from everything.

Awesome lil loop

We got there late easy to find follow google already dispersed spots some small some large...fyi it's a loop. Looks as if they do fires, primitive though, someone riding with us had an episode demanding to return in town at 3 am so according to God s plan, we got stuck on a hill, high centered the truck and wound up all sleeping ing the truck morning time decided to venture out right as the land owners I would pressumed making rounds and help free us thank God... See with God's L.A.W. ( love always wins) we are more able to worry and fret not there is always someone coming.why? Because I assure he sees and knows all😜
