Great rustic camping by a creek

Wonderful dispersed camping site, up a winding mountain road. Each site is far enough from the next to give you a feeling of being alone, and includes a fire pit (with swing-out cooking grill), a picnic table, and a metal post with two hooks to hang gear on.

The mountain stream next to each site provides a relaxing soundtrack to the evening.

Secluded Paradise

Nice place to camp for the night or for a few days. A little bit of traffic comes through, but for the most part it is a riverside paradise.
