This was a somewhat challenging dirt road. 4x4 maybe not required, but it can be rocky. Stay right when you come to the fork,…

No camping allowed anymore

As of visit Feb 2022, the NPS seems to have posted a small no camping sign at the top of the main road by the hwy...easy to miss if you are used to this area for camping...like last year! Guess this is a day use area now.

Great boondock.

Follow the road, fork right and head all the way in. You can get up on the ridges and have an excellent view for days. Plenty of space, roads are decent but get rough in parts. Ranger said no camping on the beach or waterfront so use your judgment.
