Busy road

Easy road for 2wd but incredibly busy throughout the day for day hikers. The trailhead parking fills up and everybody tries to park on the road - making for a tight squeeze in some areas. Not big-rig friendly, but perfect for pop-ups.

Great spot

Nice dispersed camping spot. There are a few along the road, we went just passed the Tigawon community house and found a great spot with a view, and fire pit!
