Secluded, but easy to access

Last time I went was in the early spring, so the roads were a little sloppy. Cars can get in and out pretty easy, but pay attention to tire slip. 

Sites were clean and in open space. 

Lots of hikes nearby with some cool leftovers from various forest service project. There are some cool footbridges around, but sometimes they are closed in winter. 

Not a lot of firewood options, so bring your own.
