Would not recommend

It’s a little sketchy. Folks look like they’ve been here a while. The area burned at some point in the past and is torn up with landslides. And it’s not that pretty. Crowded. There are numerous dispersed sites right off the road, accessible by all vehicles, but good luck finding one on a Friday evening. I’d say avoid this area.
