Perfect primitive site

It's a great spot right off of highway 12. Plenty of room for sites. Across the road at sunset is spectacular. AT&T and Verizon both have excellent service.

Nice easy tucked away spot

Cool dispersed camping right off the road. It's beautiful the only thing is you can here cars on the highway from your campsite and there's only like 4 campsites. Not busy at all though I was the only one there. easy to get to with 4 wheel drive car
