Very isolated

Most isolated camp site I’ve been to. Requires driving down a dirt road the branches off another dirt road. It’s 8 miles down the road with major washouts. Horse flys were incredibly bad. No out house no picnic tables no fire rings. No cell service. I do not recommend unless privacy is your primary concern.
