Pretty, lots of bugs.
Rough is pretty tough but I saw several vans make it. Would recommend 4x4. The campsites are decently spaced out but not the place to go if you don’t want neighbors, I chose the only single site I could find but could still hear dogs barking and music in the distance(to be fair it was 4th of July…

Great
Great place

Absolutely beautiful
Road was REALLY rough. One portion looked like someone had just run around digging random holes in the road; however, once you got past the road, it was everything you'd want in a primitive site. Beautiful aspens, pines and a babbling stream made it one of our top picks for dispersed camping.
