Perfect Remoteness
Stellar Campground. Large Sites in a peaceful valley. Road getting up is a little sketch but saw some Sedans up there. We were worried about getting a spot showing up at 4 on a Saturday but there were still a few open. And if not, there are plenty of accessible dispersed spots down the road.
Beautiful place
I just went in December and it is a very nice place although the bathrooms were not very clean I recommend bringing your own bathroom
Great Ground and Easy Roads
The road there is easy even during the winter. Just before you get there may be puddling but with a little know how you'll have no issue. First come first serve basis, recommend bringing exact cash. Great cell service for verizon as well and you have plenty shade and room for a lot of people.
