Undeveloped free campgrounds near the falls.

These are free campgrounds and are accessible as long as the roads are clear and the camp site before it is open.

But I only recommend this area for young and able bodied people in shape as the terrain gets tougher and tougher the farther out this way you go.

We hiked up this area without gear in a scouting weekend, and while we liked the area, it’s a lot to get there. It take more than an hour after you start of the gravel and dirt roads to arrive at this location as traveling is very slow and it’s more than 15 miles out on these roads.

After exploring we prefer to go to some of the earlier campground about 30 mins down this road (Boyd’s and the dispersed areas near there)
