Beautiful, quiet & remote

This is a beautiful little spot along a bumpy dirt road. The silence and peace here are incredible with lots of trees and shade.

It is, however, one of the most unlevel spots I’ve ever stayed in. I’m in a 22 foot camper and used up all of my blocks just trying to get level. Although my camper fit fine, it was a long bumpy slog to get here. I’m terrible at backing in but decided to back into the site so I could easily pull out if I changed my mind.

In 24 hours, I’ve only seen one truck and one ATV. If you’re looking for quiet and remote, this is a great spot. You can definitely get a camper up here, but it’s probably a site better suited for vans, tents, and off-road vehicles. The stillness up here is very striking.

Nice place to pull over

One-vehicle site, clean, right off the road. You'll pass several private homes getting here but none yiu can see from here. Decent Verizon. Large dry tree trunk piles next to site and across road. Plenty of sky. No shade on vehicle but trees to put a chair under for shade. Quiet. Horse and rider came up behind me in the morning and passed around me without even looking at me.

SiteThe only one.

Nothing special

The pull off is at the exact coordinates given and it’s on the left. The bugs were not too bad, it was fairly peaceful with mild road traffic through the night, nothing special but good for the night. This is a single dispersed site.
