McClendon Spring Campground

After almost missing the turnoff 1.5 miles west of town it was a slow 4 mile drive on a rocky country road to get to the springs. Beautiful out of the way dispersed camping spot. The spring is still running although very small. Saw deer and tons of stars. The road is not that big rig friendly. We have a 27' TT.

HUGE disappointment. We drive 3 miles with our TT on a long steep dirt road, to find an overgrown site with no "spring". The trees and grass have taken over and the spring was dry. You could see exposed pipes, maybe the re-route that water in the summer? There are two sites (supposedly there are 5), one of which is completely exposed to the sun, the other is located close to the "spring" within a mangled mess of weeds and overgrown trees. With the hot temperatures and high winds, we didn't want to risk it. If you have travel trailer, 4x4 is recommended as the road is rough and steep in places. The turn off the highway is VERY tight, watch out of the cattle guard if you have low clearance.

Surreal to drive up and in on narrow single Track. So exciting as you don’t know if you found something special or are lost. Love it. Has many Mountain View’s plus a small forest for coverage and a lake. Place is boss.
