Awesome spot

What a great little spot. Two miles into the national park off main road. Narrow roads, I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a truck and 23 foot camper like we had.

No cell reception, no trash, vaulted toliets that were clean. Has the lake that a lot of people seem to pull up for day use to access and hiking/biking trail were feet away from our site. We walked a little foot and bike traffic past through. Lots of fun! No gas stations or grocery stores close by though, so be ready!
