Simple campground at a beautiful location

Can get crowded over the weekends but the campground is at a stunning location. No water, electric or trash services, and no firewood available at the campground.

Gorgeous location, plenty of spots to set up

Really stunning location with plenty of spots to camp most of the time, although I can see it being hard to find a good spot during holiday weekends.

Getting there was great. It’s a 20 mile dirt and gravel road from the freeway and it’s pretty well maintained.

I didn’t see a single piece of trash anywhere on my last trip. I will be making another trip out soon.
