Easy to acess

This spot was easy to find but we were looking for more of an adventure, and continued down this road to look at as many spots as possible before deciding.

There were places to have a fire but I did not see any restrooms. If you are looking for a pack it all in type of trip, this works well without having to haul all the camping gear too far. There is good tree coverage and it’s suitable for both ground and hang style camping.
