Great secluded spot!

We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t crowded at all. The dispersed sites aren’t far from the road since most of the road goes down a valley with hills on both sides however there’s a nice creek running down the whole way. Definitely check it out if you don’t mind a colder night in a valley. Not much room to explore outside your vehicle unless you’re okay walking down the dirt road to see other sites and views.

Best back Country Area

Man was this area beautiful! We travelled from Tennessee to find some wonderful back country primitive camping and man did we find it. Beautiful area right by the creek (found natural turquoise) with plenty of wildlife like goats, deer, rabbits, and many other things. This area is inhabited by a few homeless people but none the less it was a great area!
