Secluded

It was dead when we arrived; only saw two other vehicles. Very quiet and secluded. Easy to navigate and find a spot.

Secluded but safe

One of the best experiences I’ve had camping solo. The camp site was on a small gravel road, tucked up in the forest, only 1 or 2 other campers, but the grounds man who delivered my firewood checked on my 1-2 times a day. Also warned me when a storm was imminent. Seneca Rock and many hiking trails close by. Incredible drive through steep, winding mountain roads!
