High Valley Ridge

The drive up was windy and a bit steep at points but well groomed and manageable in an SUV. I’m sure most cars can do the drive with a responsible person behind the wheel. We drove right up to the pin where there’s 2 sites, an upper (larger site) and a lower with a fire ring. It did look like there were more pull offs before we pulled up to the pin. The view is insane and it feels super safe and secluded!!

Recent regrading of the southern road up made it a cake walk, it's like a runway. Got to the big circle at the top and stayed there but there are more roads branching off and then pullouts down the north side.

There are numerous pull-outs and campsites along this High Ridge Road with absolutely breathtakingly stunning views of the valley to the east and the lake to the west. It is primitive camping to be sure but you will find nothing more beautiful and peaceful than this. While there are a few campsites with foliage canopies, most are in the Sun and where I stayed it is entirely sunny all day with equally beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Verizon is two bars. The road coming in from the north is easy though it can be rutted and bumpy in spots as well as narrow. Overall it's an easy Road for van lifers and vehicles with reasonable clearance. Pulling a small trailer up here would also be straightforward. This is not an area for large rvs. It is about a 45 minute drive into town with full services. It's not far but a very slow drive.
