Minimal but spacious

Pros:

views. Of surrounding mountain range is nice at sunset, and nice stars except when cars drive by.
spacious. Nobody was there when I stayed, and you could fit 20 RVs in the gravel lot.
isolated but close to two small towns.

Cons:

sign for no camping in parking lot
road noise
no amenities

This is public land, allowed to camp 14 days on the trails. But the parking lot has sign for no camping in the parking lot. Nothing but a parking lot at a trail head tho.

Verizon had strong signal here.
