A dirt road on the ne side of 120 about 12 miles from Benton leads to a hill covered with boulders and trees. Truly beautiful. Windy. Lots of animal tracks. Super quiet but that may be because 120 is supposed to be closed but isn't. The only difficult part is getting up a short rocky incline. I made it easily in a Forester towing a 13 ft fiberglass trailer. At the top of the hill you can go left or right. Both sides have sites(maybe 4 each way). There are turnarounds on both sides but I wouldn't bring a big rv up here. We had the whole place to ourselves on a Monday at the end of March. No water or services but ATT service was strangely good.
