*this is just for the free campsites- there appears to be paid campsites and maybe RV hook ups very close by.
Pros:
- Gorgeous lush forest
- ice-cold flowing stream (in May) immediately off most camp spots
- well maintained and leveled places to pitch a tent.
- except for occasional cars, very very peaceful and far from any urban life or freeway.
Cons:
- No cell service (Verizon) without driving 10 minutes, and then patchy for another 10-15
- camp spots are mostly immediately off the road. It’s a very isolated place, so you have inconsistent privacy and peace and quiet.
- several cars drove by and woke me up after 11pm.
- the dirt road to get there as well as the pull off for the campsite are rough and a bit dangerous for low/regular cars. It’s doable but you should go very slow and watch out for giant holes and ridges. I bottomed out going into the parking space, and I lifted my Prius 1.5in
TO NOTE:
Google maps incorrectly told me to take a right once I was on the dirt road that doesn’t exist. Just ignore it and keep going forward.
Explored up to campsite 4 the next day. Campsite 3 is a larger group site and a bit further off the road.
It’s not true “dispersed” camping because they have designated site you are supposed to stay at. Im not sure how many there are, but I only got up to #4, driving about 5-10 min down the dirt road.
