Sparse trees for this region.

On the way here there’s a rocky show like pullout that I’ve frequently seen RVs parked at. It has two sites leading up to the campground with fire pits.

Both the spot just before the campgrounds at the trail head. All the sites appeared to be free but for certain the RV spots by the river are.

While this is a nice area it’s about an hour drive down a gravel road that is often pretty rough driving.

Lots of people go in this area to ride ATV’s and shoot guns.

If you make a right over the bridge there is a campground with more services but is also a long drive on a somewhat rocky road with potholes.

It’s like a pothole mine field where at times, there’s so many it’s Impossible to miss them.
