Simple camp spot with easy access

It’s a nice and simple spot to stay at. Plenty of trees for shade. There are 5 spots off of the Main road that I would say a small RV or travel trailer could stay at. The 2023 MVUM shows this place as a go for dispersed camping.

The first site, closest to the road, is pretty level, and lots of open space. The road does have the occasional car.

The other sites off of the main road are easy to get to as well, but not as level, and less room.

There is a turn off of the main road that has a steep drop and climb, and low clearance from trees, maybe 7ft. There are 4 additional fire rings that would make for great tenting spots.

The area as a whole could use some cleaning, there were spots where broken glass could be found in abundance.
