There are a few tent sites at this location. We chose to stay at one that had more exposure but was closer to the fire lookout, with the hopes that we could stay in the fire lookout the next night. It was fairly windy but gorgeous with a great view of the sunset. There is a bathroom. We easily found an area to pump water. It's an easy hike to the lookout and to nearby ponds and crests.
