I love the spot but the constant barrage of target shooting makes it hard to really enjoy! Road is rough getting here but doable. Clean vaulted toilet, great camping spaces with covered tables and a beautiful view. But the shooters really ruin the serenity of this place. 

Beautiful spot spoiled with target shooters

Clean spot. Service. Great views. Off season camping is the best, no noise of any kind all three days. 

Great views! 

Great quiet place, don’t forget your water it could be a bit of a drive for more.
