Can’t get too far off main road due to snow this early in the season. Road rutted and bumpy but made it about 500 yards back in my prius. Could go farther back in 4x4 despite snow. Several other people. lots of open space and spots to choose from. especially once snow melts more. Be careful of mud- if you are worried i would walk down the road a bit to check it out. 


Good diseased camping  lots of space  

We pulled in around 4pm on a Sunday. We went to the 3rd dirt road on the left to find a spot available. Only one other camper was there and the area could easily accommodate 4 without being too close to each others. Very easy to find. To the north Turquoise Lake is 1/2 mile away. There are mountain bike /hiking trails everywhere around the lake. Even though the space we were in was very spacious it felt secluded and we really could not see the other RV. We pulled our 40 feet toy hauler easily. The spot was leveled and clean. A stone fire pit was there and lots of wood had been left by the previous campers.
