Nothing fancy but good to rest up

Not sure where the mentioned sites with fire pits and a fee are, but right across the street from the coordinates there is a nice big gravel parking lot I stayed at with a few other folks.

Well maintained

Nice flat gravel camping spots. The road is not difficult at all. Small fee to camp but comes with a well maintained spot, fire pit, and grate for cooking.

There was a nice creek behind us and lots of cows roaming.
