That means you’ll have plenty of neighbors to make friends with or leave alone, so no need to put up a “taken” or “occupied” sign. — that’s obnoxious and not what camping is about. This spot has a decent approach. Lots of big frumpy rigs, bikers, car campers, not too many tents. Go down by the river to do some more authentic camping. This spot is good for socialization though.
I road in at night and the road was sandy and wiggly. If you can make it all the way down to where the trail ends, it’s a pretty dank opening to the water. Be respectful, friendly, and never put a sign in “your spot” that says “taken” or “occupied” — you are on native land and that’s also an obnoxious, unfriendly Karen move.
No camping signs. Great spots though. People off-road around the spots day and night. So go far back and behind a big bush. The trail is rugged. Respect nature and stay on the trail if you can. I cowboy camped. It was fine. I don’t remember having it needing cell reception.
Easy approach. No one there. Lotsa wood. Made fire. Slept good. No cell reception.
Sandy powdered dirt and sandstone makes a fun trail to moto around on. Obviously keep your Harley at home.
Plenty of space, nice and quiet, not too many ding-dongs around in rvs. Also a nice escape from the tourism in Saydoughnuh
Gravel, sand, and dirt approach. Great spot found fast. Sand is smooth for laying a tent and pad. I did feel like a wood fire pizza baking on top of the hot sand. The sand never cooled down at night. My tent turned into a solo-sweat lodge. It was not spiritual experience. I can confirm that the pond nearby is in fact water. Cool water. Which, no surprise, is home to several extra spicy mosquitos. I’d definitely visit again to murder all those mosquitos. 10/10 recommend!
The road up is truly awesome. However, the flies will swarm and begin to collectively murder you. Once you think you are safe inside your tent, the endless popping of gunshots from the shooting range nearby will lull you to sleep, but also induce some pretty f-d up dreams. Now that it’s actually dark, the TV Tower begins to strobe into your tent all night like a pulsing defibrillator on your eyeballs. After your body is too fatigue to care or you’ve cut a breathing hole into a brown bag and put it on your head, immeasurable gusts of wind will blow your house down. The only thing you can now look forward to is taking out your rage on the flies that will meet you outside of your tent. Let the battle begin.
