Good Place near JTNP

The best road into the area is Sunfield to 4th then left at Cascade (t intersection). Cascade is lumpy with dips & such but it’s a short drive to the entrance. You’ll see a wide open area to your right (NE) & choose a way in. Some are horrendous paths-especially after a rain-if you stay right it is better. We didn’t continue north on Cascade - that might be a decent way to get to the back. Coyote Lake is dry but probably is a muddy mess after a rain so avoid it. It can be spotted before you reach it & on satellite view. The official JTNDCamping area is NNE of that intersection. We quit driving before we got there. We were in line with the off road area but we’ll out of their way. Some reviews have mentioned a lot of possibly permanent people here, there must have been a clean up because there were only a couple that we suspected. Negative-if you are disturbed by semi/automatic rifles being shot off, this might deter you from here. We think it’s from the other side of the hills due north of Cascade. We stayed Saturday to Sunday (8days) & on the weekend it seemed endless. During the week there were a couple of days without the tat tat tat. It is loud.

Sitemiddle of nowhere
