Nice spot

This is a good spot just off the road/trail. Small and kind of tight in the official camping area with three spots kind of spread out. Tight in here, so would not recommend a trailer. There is a parking area just past the camping turn off though with room for a trailer. Camp sights had a lot of trash. I cleaned what I could till I ran out of space to bag any more.

Super pretty, but.....

This place is stunning. Has a small zip line over the creek and a rope swing. Doesn't look deep but there's a super deep hole you aim for. A lot of sxs and dirt bike riders. Super off grid. Barely a cell signal. Water is clear and cool. Places to tuck off and set up camp that are private. I would have said 5 stars but when choosing my options on what I was looking for I said rv accessible. Well it is for a half mile maybe. The roads are plenty wide enough. However, they are mostly sand and a lot of dips and mud holes from all the 4wheeling. I have a 36ft 5th wheel and it sounded like I'd have the ability to get it there. Well, I did, with a few broken dishes and messing up the camper a bit. Plus my truck broke down trying to get through the roads. It's easy to get to in 2 wheel drive and just about any vehicle. But 4x4 is recommended. So I'm currently waiting for someone that can pull me out to get my truck in a shop and figure out where to put camper. Other than those issues, this place is amazing. Quiet, secluded, fun and relaxing. People have left trash everywhere so I have spent a day cleaning the Forrest. As we all should do. Happy travels everyone.
