It had just rained and the road was pretty muddy so we did alot of sliding. We stayed one night on a Tuesday, there weren't very many people. The spaces are spread far apart that you don't even notice other people near by. The first 1-2 miles in you can hear the highway noise which wasn't awful when car camping, but if in a tent you will hear it for sure. If you go further up the road the noise goes away and it's much more peaceful. We are driving a front wheel 2 wheel drive kia sportage and we almost made it to the top but the mud was making it to difficult for us to keep going. It's a really pretty site. The coordinates are accurate.
