Out of the way and quiet

Some what remote rustic camping but some spots will take larger trailers with enough ground clearance. I would not try without 10” min clearance.

It was over 103 degrees in the valley but only in the 80’s when we were there.

One part of the campground road is rocky and has a lot of large tree roots in the road. This is in an area that burned but the campground didn’t so you have some tree coverage.
