Grapevine Group Campground

Quiet little spot off the main road.  Different options right near hear, but overall secluded.   Forest road 410 has a few sites.  Deer, elk, rabbits, birds, plenty of fun little spiders everywhere.  Creek had some areas of running water in mid/late November.  Coyote howling at dusk.  Great secluded spot.  A sedan can make it about 4 miles in as long as it hasn't been raining or snowing.  

Great little spot

Great creek side camping with lots of sycamore shade trees. Wild turkeys are plentiful through here.
