Prepare the climb; also not for big RVs

The turn is not marked well, in fact the coordinates are a little bit off. If you miss the turn like we did you have to go 5 miles or more to get a turnabout big enough to turn around. You climb a big steep hill to get to the turn in. On the way back down from the turnaround we almost burned out or brakes. We decided not to go to the site because it looked like a one lane road and too tight for our 35 ft bumper pull. Disappointed because pictures from others looked great and it is a beautiful area. We found a spot near the road that I’ll post for others.

Great spot for dispersed camping

First time headed out here and it was a great spot for a disconnected weekend. Trail was fun (definitely needed 4x4) and the sites around has good shade and good size open spots. Best to get there early as possible to secure a spot.

Great if you have a 4x4

Specs if this campground are wrong, no toilets/water/etc.

Great for campers that meet 2 criteria 1) You have a Jeep, Truck it similar vehicle that can go off-road. 2) You enjoy dispersed camping (no water/restrooms etc)

If both are yes, this place is amazing.

Deep in nature, beautiful area, no cost and you can almost always find a spot, even on a Saturday in summer.

If you go the the end of 3N06 (main off-road path) there is a good hike that you can take for several hours.
