Great spots, but way up the mountain

First off the campsite locations for hidden wilderness roadside camp is somewhat misleading. Once you get to where # 1 is marked on the map, there are essentially spots scattered along that road all the way past wilderness camp #3. It’s not just a group of campsites at anyone location. This is one of those places where you kind of think you’re lost the entire time but then every couple minutes you’ll pass another campsite. Now please note well you might pull this off in a 2 Wheel Dr. I would seriously recommend four-wheel-drive. This is a very rocky steep Jeep trail essentially. From the paved road, we slowly drove a solid 30 minutes up this road before we picked a campsite. There are campsites ever so often both on the left and right side of the road that are marked only by a pull off area with a fire pit. If you pick the right spot, there are absolutely beautiful views, and it is very spread out and secluded. It says you need a permit, but we didn’t bother. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an adventure and not just some regular campground. Our campsite didn’t have much even ground, but we strung up hammocks so that wasn’t really an issue. There are no facilities at all to ever so you will need to pack in and pack everything out yourself .

Agree - not worth it for me

I have a front wheel drive Promaster and it wasn’t impossible, but it didn’t give me the warm and fuzzies trying to get up there. A lot of private property and all just very scrunched. Hard to turn around. Don’t recommend it.

Unaccessible

Might be accessible for other vehicles but the road is BAD... Directions with GPS are a bit confusing and leads you to private property first
