OHV Spot

This is a small spot in the forest accessible by a rough road. It is beautiful and very affordable at $6 per night. But, the camp spots are fairly small and close tegether. The pit toilets are clean and fire pits and picnic tables are provided. Mostly shaded, though much of the surrounding forest is a burned zone. This campground seems to be mostly for OHV use. Most campers bring dirt bikes and the camp is circled by OHV trails. Not a lot of hiking or activities nearby unless you drive up the dirt road a ways. Great spot if you are into dirt bikes. If you are not into dirt bikes, maybe visit in the OHV off season.

Great price

Great price, simple, utilitarian camp ground. Glad we were there on an off weekend though, Idk how many more dirt bikers I could handle. Everything they did was loud. Could use another bathroom.
