Visitors often highlighted the spacious, level sites under trees with good privacy. Some road noise is present but generally not bothersome. Easy highway access with cell service available.

Perfect spot

This spot is great, super super open but also closed in enough with trees, was able to set up a hammock without thinking about where. I’m assuming there’s lots of spots further down the road, but i chose one of the first ones, didn’t see a single other person all night. You can hear the road but it’s not bad, just a little annoying when trucks drive by but that happened maybe 3 times total all night. 10/10 2-3 bars with version as well

Great Spot! Quaint and Private

Really nice private spot just off the main road. Basically only one spot per group (lots of room, but really only one fire pit). Some road noise but easily accessible and great cell service.

Great spot

Within walking distance of the Jacob Lake Inn (have to walk on the side of the highway but traffic is not bad). It is a beautiful spot, lots of flat level room under the trees. Two fire circles that I saw. You can hear traffic on the road but it is not loud. I do recommend it. IMO it is better than the campground just up a bit, sure there are no toilets but Jacob Lake campground has pit toilets so are you really giving up much? In return you get so much more room and privacy in a far more wooded setting.
