Not an actual site.  Pin took me to a feild with horse/cows (pics attached for cuteness).  The actual site is in the campground on Google Maps, but IT ISNT ALLOWED!!!

VERY CLEARLY SIGNED CAMPING IN CAMPGROUND SITES ONLY!!!

There is a small fire ring by the trailhead, as description says, but the signs on the road are VERY clear.  Also lots of rangers patrolling, so don't risk it!!

So, unless you wanna pay a RIDICULOUS fee for a night, not worth it at all.  Would've given it one mark, but figured someone later might find a touch of value.
