Visitors often highlighted spacious, flat sites with beautiful views, but access requires 4WD or high clearance due to muddy, washed-out roads. Cell service is limited with only occasional bars available.

4wd road 1 easy big spot

Road is washing out. Got to be to risky for 2wd van. Backed out. No solid verizon signal. If you walked around you might pick up 1 or 2 bars but I had to get back to main road for signal. There is 1 or maybe 2 big spots anyone could get to in just a car, maybe a quater mile down the road. Then a small road goes off across the main road that has a spot by a tree an suv or car could maybe get to. The main big spot pictured could fit a small RV. Beautiful views and some monuments in the distance.

Mildly hardcore off-roading, plateau views of surrounding

This was an experience. Driving to the campsite was mildly intense for the subu outback in x mode and no off-road tires. The road was muddy and had a trench in one side of it, there were stretches where standing water was deep and we drove around. Recommend 4x4 or good tires and AWD! The camp ground was so beautiful, would’ve kept going further but didn’t want to push the vehicle.

It often rains in this area so be wise if you go since the road back is going to be flooded.
