Little roadside gem

Description is accurate - one table, one fire ring and room for a couple of tents, but not much else. The fresh water spring is not a 1/4” mile but just across the road where it has easy access through a pipe flowing into a small pool. Tons of flow and I found the water pure and clean. Lovely location with a couple spots to put your tent right next to Dairy Creek. The road gets very low use so not a bother.
