Great secluded spot off the forest road

Found this spot when the one I had intended to go to up the road was closed due to fires. Definitely would say you need a Jeep/4wd because the albeit short ride was very uneven, though easily managed given how short (almost like a driveway) it was. Make sure you get a permit for any fires, including propane stoves. No service with T-Mobile or any other amenities to speak of.  Enough space for ~3 tents if with a group.
