Beautiful night sky

Super remote and totally worth it. Great dispersed campsite with beautiful views and the best night sky because there is no light pollution.

Lots of sites for many groups

This area is super cool because each site has a walkway connecting each site to each other. It was awesome being able to have a large group camp out, but also have everyone in their own space!
