Travel Trailer Friendly Site

Right off of German Ridge rd after you pass Tree Farm rd heading south. Road switches from asphalt to fire road but its pretty short to the pull off. There's at least a few more of these further down too. Site has a spacious opening and easy drive up. Plenty of room for 3 vehicles or a longer trailer.

Flat spots galore.
