Beautiful camping

I loved camping here, even with the fire ban. It was a little windy but it was absolutely beautiful and the campsites were well-spaced. I'm glad we could drive up to the campsite directly, and glad the roads were so well-managed. The only reason I take off a star was for the large amount of trash around.

Heavy Vehicle Requirements for Successful Traversal

I will start with the fact that we did not end up being able to camp here. We were naive in thinking that the extremely rough, rocky roads would be short-lived on the private property section of the road, but no, the roads are nearly impossible all along S Colony Rd. We did not have a 4wd all-terrain vehicle, though, just a rugged 2wd meant for mostly city driving. While we did make it to the parking lot, we decided not to camp due to the anxiety that would have built up over the course of our weekend stay about the road out. So, we left immediately and decided to camp elsewhere that the car could handle. I give two stars due to the awful road, but I gave it more than one star for the beauty. It was a fairly isolated with stunning scenery. Probably an excellent choice if you have a car worth its salt.
