Nice NF campground, free of charge. Beautiful setting among giant pines. Road is dirt and a bit rough in spots, but I made it in with a Camry no problem. Clean, stocked pit toilets. No running water.

Merci Beaucoup! The forest here is pure medicine and magic. Toilets were clean and with toilet paper. Fire ring and bbq provided. Not many hikers or campers. The road is rough, but doable on our 27ft motorhome.

A long trek into the woods that opens up into a very nice beautiful little campground. We made the trek, but we did NOT stay. The BUGS were so fierce and thick that you could not even stand to be out of the truck. The pit toilet that was there was the most disgusting one we have ever seen. It such a shame, because this is a very cool little spot.

Beautiful dry camping area. Wake up to water flowing through a creek and wilderness.

I came for an overnight stay at the campground in mid January. It was peaceful and I had the place to myself at night. Be aware that at certain times of day (especially right before sundown on a weekend) the road to the campground may be overrun by OHVs since this is an OHV area.
