Campers regularly cited the remarkable silence and peaceful atmosphere as standout features. Several guests noted beautiful scenery and mental escape qualities. Road access requires attention but remains manageable.

Rough Washboards on the way in

Once you get a few miles from the GPS coordinates, the road becomes very rough for a camper. Took it real slow until about 1.5 miles to go. Then we came upon an entrance sign for the area which had a separate road closed for the season blockade on the middle of the road. It was getting dark, so we decided to camp there. I will say, like the other reviewers mentioned, it was eerily quiet and peaceful. The next morning, a school bus drove right past the road closed sign, so we decided to drive out that way. The roads became way easier and we finally saw the actual camp site which was pretty scenic. Wished we would have continued on and stayed there. Would return knowing what we know now. If you're in a camper, take it real slow and you'll be rewarded with peaceful quiet.

What a spot!

Was going to stop at the dispersed camping which is before this one. Decided to continue on and take my chances. So glad I did. Beautiful scenery, so quiet. It’s a mental escape. There are flies here now so have kept the Tune closed up.

So quiet and peaceful

This is the quietest campsite I’ve ever been to. Literally zero sounds, not even bugs! Great for peaceful getaway. Road a little rough but nothing an Outback can’t handle.
