Good, secluded spot.

Nine Mile Coves is about 10mi south along Powerline Road directly inside the National Park Station near Cottonwood Cove. Free to camp, no reservations, but you will need to pay an entrance fee the park.

Sandy, exposed lot with a couple good sites. I'd say best for Vans or overlanding instead of trailer-towing. Lots of wind from all directions. Clean outhouse with trash bin inside.
