beautiful peaceful spot to escape the heat
limited sites, each with a picnic table, access to water and flush toilet. very nice spot and the higher elevation provides cooler temperature.
Great tent site
Campsite is at 2000 feet so cooler than bottom and way less crowded. Good biking up side roads.
1st come 1st serve w/ many pros
Am finding out that no free campground is con-free, but this one is great for the fact there are flushing toliets just across the street, there is a water source at the 10 spot campsite, garbage bins that are emptied regularly, and the people who fill up these spots daily seemed to all be courteous of their neighbors and keep lights and sounds down to a minimum at early AND late hours. No firepits, not much for privacy, all spots are very close together w/no trees, but there are tables, the road is very close but seldom traveled, the visitors center you pass just up the road states everyone must pay the entrance fee, but we never did! There is NONE-ZERO cell service here or around for at least 50 miles, for Boost network anyways, and gas was 4.37 for unleaded just up the road, so try to fill up in Beatty, which is a whole dollar cheaper per gal.
