Nice but Rough Road

Great secluded dispersed camping. It was obviously meant for folks with horses, but I was the only one there, so there were no horses in sight. The road getting there entailed about 5 miles of bumpy, windy dirt roads. Not totally worth it for a one night stay in a van, but might be for a 4wd car.

Perfect secluded spot!

Perfect secluded spot. Larger area for everyone to come join! Trees for shade and relaxing. Nearby trails to find mud holes 😁 great time all around when we go!

Great spur of the moment trip!

We picked here for a spot of the moment camping trip. We love this place because it's close enough to a store if we forgot anything we can make a quick trip and get what we need. This trip was great! Sunny days!! And could hear the coyotes howl and yip to communicate with each other! Amazing to hear!
