Beautiful Views!

The road up is rough but totally doable with pickup truck with slide in camper. This campsite was nice and level.

Bumpy and long road to the top

But so worth it. There were other spots along the road on the way up but most were taken or uneven. I ended up at the top of the mountain and the view is gorgeous. Gets a bit windy and definitely colder but a great site to spend some time at. There is evidence of some parties and broken glass so watch out for that but mostly clean and taken care of. Some traffic coming through but nothing loud or obnoxious. Definitely recommend going slow on the road, the bumps are pretty bad. Enjoy!

Beautiful Sites

Endless sites on this road. If you feel like spending some time searching you are bound to find the perfect site. Only saw one site taken on a cold Thursday morning in May, not sure what it’s like in warmer months. Big and small spots!!
