At first it looks like a very busy camping area, but if you drive for a bit you can find yourself a nice little private out of the way camping spot to set up tent. 

Drive a bit to find quietness 

Great location where you can camp in the trees or on the meadow. Vault toilet available once you drive a ways in on Elgin Park Road. Plenty of deadfall to use as firewood. Suitable for both tent and RV camping.

We enjoyed our stay here, many spots to pick from, but a few things to be advised about. 

  

1\. When we arrived it looked like a lot of the locals"dropped" their campers there for storage to avoid paying storage fees. However, while we were there the National Forest staff came in several times and started tagging these RVs and most of them were removed within a week or so. 

  

2\. This place is a haven for SxS and ATV traffic on the weekend so it can get loud and very dusty 

  

3\. Hundreds of free-range cattle, so if you are not comfortable with them walking in and through your campsite you may want to pick another location. 

  

4\. There is only one place in all the area that has cell coverage and turns out we camped on that hill without knowing it so we had traffic all day with people parking in and around our campers to use their phones. 

  

We did a video review of this spot  if you are interested here is the link https://youtu.be/gpm9THujEow 

  

We enjoyed our stay even with those items we listed above, would stay here again for sure. Thank you to the National Forest Staff for patrolling this area!!!
