Beautiful, plenty of sites (primitive, no water or toilet) but close to a creek/waterfall. Continue down to the creek and back up to the Cross campground for a greater challenge. 2 grills and 1 fire ring plus plenty of rocks for sitting. 3.5 miles out to the site from the trailhead

12-12-23 camp is a little dirty, if you have extra time, space, please bring a garbage bag. I couldn't clean it all cause I was double packed carrying stuff for me and my little daughter. There is still water further down the trail, about 10 minutes away

Waste of a trip. If you dont trust this post go to the KOA campground while ur there for nothing.Big cone campground is unreachable. Property is placed along a old roadway and the roads are closed. If you dont trust me, go see. Their is a non reservation needed and spacious KOA campground for $25. Be out by 11am if you dont wanna waste the day driving some where else
