Overnight stay

Easily found the dispersed sights from the app. Spent a very quiet night nestled back off the highway under the stars.

A perfect and quiet stay

Very close to the main road, few spots and some with firepits, we were only 3 cars staying for the night. Perfect for an immersive night in a beautiful forest, we saw a group of deers in the late afternoon. No toilet no water. Def recommend.
