Disperced site with mountain views

We drove a few hundred feet from the trailhead and turned to a small track offroad. We made it a goos distance on our sedan before the track got too rocky for us to continue. The spot we made it to, had two firepits close to eachother and if you choose your spot wisely, small trees can provide shade from the morning hours sun. From our place you could see the moon and then 8h later the sun rise from behind the mountains. If it hadn't been such a full moon, we would've seen the stars as there were no other sources of light polluting the nightsky. A 100ft up the track we found more firepits and an even more beautiful spot where you are in full view of the mountains upfront where as at our spot some trees were limiting the view. You would need a vehicle with around 12 inch ground clearance to get over the terrain on the track. Even though we didnt sleep there, the 2min walk was worth the views. There was no disturbance during the night, I heard one vehicle in the morning but it didn't come down the track we were on. There are plenty of campspots just a short walk from the trailhead bathroom if emergency strikes. My only downside would be sand that sticks to your shoes and will dirty everything it gets the chance to. Would camp here again!
