First of all, it is a BEAUTIFUL area and drive in. Gorgeous area. BLM land by water is relatively flat.

NOT big rig friendly. It is a sharp, steep curve to come into gate and road is narrow gravel/sand. I would not have been able to get into area and turn around if my rv had been any longer that it is (19ft) and I had to use 4WD and Maxtraxs. Road just ends so you have to turn around in grass/rock terrain if you go too far because there is no warning.

Only other downside of this spot is the mosquitos are horrible. Sitting outside during sunset isn’t even possible with bug repellent. They were covering my dogs. So be aware if you stay here. Will do for an overnight stop. Also no cell service.
