Incredible Views

This is one of the best BLM campground views i have seen on the westcoast.

Incredible views, there are limited spots so getting there early is smart. Also the roads are rough but passable. I would not want to be caught in the rain here though.

Definitely a one of a kind spot.

Gorgeous Location worth the drive if you’re okay sacrificing service

This was a gorgeous campsite with lots of spots to pull off. Road is very narrow once you get to the dirt and we almost got hit around a bend due to someone flying down the mtn so definitely don’t be that person and take it easy. There is no service for a good while up the road and at the campsites so be prepared. Tested out IPhone’s satellite feature and was able to get texts out that way if they were dire. Very peaceful campsite with lots of different sites. Please be respectful if you make it out to the Prewitt Ridge Gate, it is a dead end but the campsite right before it is beautiful.
