No camping here. Do not drive up to this spot, you can not turn around with a bigger rig…..you have to continue up the road to Snowbowl and all the small turnouts are not ones you can pull into to turn around! Lots of blind corners too. We finally were able to turn around at a maintenance building about 3 miles up the road.
