Very windy but good area

We found a nice pull out off the side of the highway near hope valley campground. We slept in our hammocks which was wonderful. It got really windy at night but it wasn’t to awful and it didn’t get to cold. We were able to walk around and collect wood to build a fire. No phone service.
