Inaccessible without serious off-road gear

Unfortunately we could not make it to the site. The BLM office said that the road was a "tire popper". This was also confirmed by the nearby gas station attendant... I was also told that in order to avoid tire damage it took as much as 2 hours to get up the mountain for a stretch. That was about 13 mi. I wish I could have made it. It would have been an excellent place for stargazing.

Nice place to beat summer heat

This is a very nice little campground high in the mountains. There are pit toilets and there is drinking water and there are nice tables. When I was there it was 25° cooler than down in Hanksville.
