LONG 20+ mile DIRT ROAD to get there!!!

From Douglas to Curtis Gulch campground it took us down some paved roads until all the sudden we were on a 20 plus mile dirt road! It was a bumpy LONG ride... once we got there most of the good spots were taken. There are 4 dispersed areas to camp & further down the road the campsites (only 5 or so) for about $10 each. We went in early June and bugs were real bad. The roads into the sites were super steep as well but we managed in our 21” travel trailer. We were surprised we made it out of there honestly! Also by a creek... if you have 4 wheel drive, some ATVs or other toys & don’t mind the drive, it’s a great place to camp! But wasn’t the case for us lol
