Road closed to the campsite due to vandalism

I spoke with the ranger at Balch Park campsite. He said vandals came through and graffitied and left trash. They closed off the road. You can still walk to the falls and camp but it is a two mile hike down a steep road and two miles back. Plus, the slow, five mile drive to the turnoff is on pot-hole riddled road with no phone service for miles. It doesn’t stop people from going back there, but it is a rough road. I saw a family of five stuck on the side of the road back there. The car just shut down. I hear it’s beautiful but my old truck couldn’t take the rattling.
