Clean and Easy

Great little camping spot directly off the highway. Vault toilets were very well maintained and cleaned by the camp host. Sites were well spaced out and all were first come first serve. A few water spigots were spaced out between sites. Local firewood sold on site. No cell service at campsite with Verizon. 

The only drawback was the proximity to the highway as you could hear cars coming up and down the mountain at all times of the day.  Also a bit pricy for lack of amenities.
