Everything but a view

There are plenty of spots and plenty of distance between them. The only complaint is that there is no view and nothing to see. Would definitely stay again, though.

Great for overnight but not a scenic desination

Needed a spot to get some sleep while traveling. This was the perfect place, the road was easy to access and there are plenty of dispersed sites that vary in size. Some more open and some in trees.
