Old CG. Free Dispersed camp

This is a decommissioned old CG. However the hard surface loop roads are still there and usable. There are old pit toilets that are closed but a new vault toilet is there and is clean and maintained. The FS verified that you can camp there, no fees. The old CG loops still have some good backin sites but all the tables and fire rings are missing or destroyed. No water or dumpsters.

Anyhoo, this is a great option for free camping close to the hwy and it does have a bit of cell signal also.

Not great

toilets, no trash no signal, forest cut down, all picnic tables wrecked, looks like it had been part of a forest fire at some point, toilets far away, no information, one picnic table complete, sadly looks abandoned. Water available but looks a bit rusty dirty. It’s being heavily reforested at the moment.
