"Toilet paper was found on the edge of our campsite, but that seemed to be the only trash around. Pit toilets were very clean!"
"This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down. "
GuideMy mistake, these coordinates took us to the top of the mountain. It is currently an active logging area, so the truckers are out at 3am. The road up was a very narrow road. So careful if there’s other cars coming through, especially the logging semis.
Nonetheless a cool spot. Dry camping. Please clean up after yourselves.
ScoutExpensive ($80-90/night) but great facilities in a good location. Great showers, internet, hookups, pool and campsites. Relatively quiet… not a KOA.
TravelerThere are several spots off the road around these radio tower stations and it is quite secluded. We didn't see any other person the whole time we were there. The spot we chose was the best as it is away from the towers and buildings, plus has a great view overlooking the valley and bay, and you can see the ocean between the peaks in the distance. The road getting here is a bit rough with lots of washboard, steep grades and rocks. But it's fun. No amenities, obviously, but there is a concrete pad from an old structure you can park on. Other sites have solid pack gravel covered by grass.
ScoutNice place for the weekend .
ScoutFirst day campgrounds were open, weather was semi rainy, stayed three nights at site A4. A huge site, could have set up multiple tents. Cost to camp, $20.00 per night. 2nd vehicle free. I was pretty much alone for the whole time. ,
TravelerI setup camp at one of the spots here 3 nights in a row & had no visitors the entire time! Very quiet & can hear some noise in the distance from time to time, but was pleasantly surprised by the peace & quiet I got up here. I had my 3 dogs with me & only one night did they make a fuss about something outside the tent, but I assumed it was due to the pack of coyotes howling in the distance (not close!). They were just extra on edge. A little bit of trash in various different spots on this mountain which is a bummer, but I tried to clean up the spot i was in to the best of my ability for the next camper!
ScoutFor 1 night, no hookups was $37. There are bathrooms, sink. They do have a dump station.
TravelerNext to a moderately busy road, but paved spots, WiFi, lovely walking trails and bathroom and showers are clean and maintained! Must have a tent pitched, if traveling and staying with your vehicle.
GuideLovely clean park with all the amenities. Nice short walk into town where there were plenty of nice restaurants. Was surprised when we got here to see it so busy as everywhere else we'd been were quite empty. The owner is lovely and friendly and really helpful about the area. Very nice clean manicured park.
