Peaceful sleep next to a creek

This was a beautiful little spot next to a creek. There are 5 sites in all. It was a Monday in August, and there were two spots available.

There was a pit toilet with plenty of toilet paper and it was quite clean.

There's also a bear box and signs clearly indicating there are bears around and that you should keep all food in your vehicle or use the box.

Lastly, the road up there is all rock/dirt with a several hundred foot drop-off on the right side and no guardrail. There were a few hairpin turns. And then the driveway to and from the camp area is quite steep. Our 2WD (front wheel drive) Honda Passport struggled to get back up it on our way out, and we had to hit the steepest part with some speed to make it out.

We saw a van/bus dweller there, but just know what you're getting into.
