Great spot!

Have to use Cook Creek like the comment below says. Pin doesn’t work well. It’s just past a river around a bend when heading east on the south side. You’ll see signs off the pavement for Cook Creek campground. Keep on driving up staying on the main road. It takes a bit before seeing camp sites, but eventually they are numbered. 17 I believe are numbered along the way. Stayed at number 5 and it was great!

This was a really fantastic campsite! Definitely quite the long and slow drive up a narrow backcountry road - steep in sections but overall quite manageable. There are a few options up here but one really phenomenal site with wide ranging views. Be weary that it is a long drive to get here and no way to tell if there's sites available until you do the entire drive up. No water up here.
