Nice spot, quick and easy to get to off the main road.

Traveling through the area and needed an easy location, this fit the bill. Wide open area with fire pit and some wood gathered. Sufficiently distant from neighboring sites. A little local road traffic with dust from ATV haulers. Across the valley from the highway so some road noise but nothing terribly annoying.

Boondocking Bonanza!

We had an epic 5 day stay here. Picked a side two miles up the road near the campground. One of our favorite spots in the SW. Road in is smooth, right off of HWY 160. However, the road noise wasn’t bad. The road goes Most sites are spaced out with plenty of privacy, some sites are more open with great solar opportunities. Very clean and maintained, easy access to nearby ponds. Pit toilets and trash at campground on the same road. Excellent T-mobile service. 5G closer to 160, very strong LTE throughout. Heavy ATV use on weekends, but we left on Saturday morning. Can’t wait to go back.
