Alone on a stream,

There are many sites up until the dead-end about 1.5 miles from the pay campground.  I camped up on the stream.  Great boondocking was here for a week. The road is in great shape. A couple of big rocks here and there.  Plenty of places to do a 3-point turnaround with any rig.

No cell coverage.  Got ok starlink between trees.

Beautiful Area

This area just up the road from the campground offers lots of dispersed camping.  There are many established sites, some with fire rings, any car can make it.
