Beautiful scenic best spot

This is on the Jacks Fork River, blue green crystal clear water, vault toilets only, in October after closing can be solo camping. Long beautiful drive in, narrow road would not reccomend for motorhome over 20' or any large camper as there is no backing up or turn arounds.
