Small, irregular camping spot

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were here for a few days in mid April. The road in is rough to start and is a little washboardy in places, but not too bad most of the way for dirt and gravel road anyway. Angel CG has a few sites, but most were taken, particularly the one amply big enough for us and with a great view. We found an irregular camping area on the NW side of the road 0.6 miles from the formal CG. After dropping our tow, we managed to get our 36’ MH up and into it on the second attempt and then did a bit of jockeying around to find a spot reasonable level. The ground is rather soft in some places. I would not recommend this spot unless you are very confident negotiating tight spaces with your rig. The view of the area is pretty awesome though. There are 3 other picnic/overlook area, but I’m not sure if overnight stays are allowed there.

AT&T coverage was just ok, with 1-2 Bars of 5G service and speeds of up to 2 MB/s without a booster. We had an unobstructed view of the sky and so we were able to receive all 3 SW Dish satellites and Starlink had up to 9 MB/s. We didn’t try to load any OTA channels.
