Great pit stop

Graded dirt road a few miles from highway. Small camping area but not many people.

Duncan Reservoir off season

Found this unmapped camping spot by following a USFS access road to an old boat launch area. Water is too low now to launch, but several fire rings, an older seasonally maintained pit toilet and minimal noise and light pollution made for a great stay. I am fully self contained.
