Worth the rough ride in!

We enjoyed our weekend at this fantastic spot! The big pieces of quartz we found were gorgeous, and so was the view at the water! It’s nestled in fall’s reservoir, but the little road in looked to be washed out. PLEASE take something with a little ground clearance and better than 2 wheel drive to get here. My Honda Element was on two wheels at one point but the AWD handled it like a champ. My husband used his truck to pull a Jetta and a Camry back up the hill after they got stuck. Also, choose your campsite wisely. The one to the left by the bad spots in the road wasn’t as flat as we’d hoped, but it was still manageable. In spite of all that, this spot was well worth it, we saw so much beauty and our family made some awesome memories!

What a hidden gem!

Me and my wife had such a blast the ladt few days camping here! We stayed 3 days and 2 nights and there was only 1 other vehicle down there with us the entire time. Like the one review above said the drive down/up Is a little sketchy but if your vehicle doesn't sit super low you should be able to make it with only a couple minor bottom outs. Out site was off to the left of the major parking area right down by the river. Super private and had some nice trails near by for hiking/finding fire wood. 10/10. Cant wait to go back
