Fun Quick Trip Spot

While this is not my favorite spot, it’s very close to where I live. This is my go to spot when I just want to get a quick overnight camp in. I will be returning here soon and will take photos to share.

Depending on the time of year it can be loud as motorists past. However, I have wondered into it wilderness to camp farther away from the trail.

The coordinates from this listing are incorrect and take you down the wrong road.

Laird Park is just down the road and you can get to nice river areas from both campsites. If you can’t get a spot here you can always try down by Laird as a backup.
