Simple free with great views!

This is free dispersed camping on a dirt road loop, just off highway 75. It is located just north of Sun Valley by a few miles on highway 75 as you head towards Galena summit. It's only a couple hundred yards off the highway, but at night there's hardly any traffic. And it's pretty quiet. There's probably approximately a dozen sites in this loop. We've been there twice, and it's always been quiet and casual, and everybody's been mellow. good spacing between. spacing between sites and privacy. awesome view of Boulder Mountain. If you have binoculars or a telescope, you can oftentimes see the Mountain goats on the higher ridges. It's free camping. Verizon cell Is weak but usable. The Galena Lodge is about 15 minutes up the road. They have great lunches, rental Mountain bikes and plenty of hiking paths. There is a creek just to the east side of the campground. Sun Valley is back down the highway. 75 about 15 minutes drive.
