Awesome place with super easy access with vehicle all the way up. Beautiful and safe spot at the top with multiple tables for a picnic and amazing view. I highly recommend people to stop by.

Beautiful campground! Great views over the back of the mountain and on your drive up and down. You are literally camping on top of a mountain, it was amazing! Was not too busy when we arrived around 6/7 but as the Sun got lower it stared to fill up. There are about 12 camping spots most are quite private.

Camped here for one night end of September. The road to campground was mostly paved except for last mile or so. Nice views, few other campers, no cell service, very peaceful! Would definitely go back to camp and hike.

Super steep climb up here, pretty neat views up top at a scenic overlook, and there's a nature trail, a picnic spot, restrooms, and a campground. Worth stopping by if you are in the area and have time in about July through mid-October. Best time for fall colors would be early to mid October before it starts to snow or get too cold.

It's really high up and remote. You'll be one with nature up there. It does get hot, and there's not much shade. We just went up there to see the view sand noticed someone had left a couple logs smoking. Luckily we had a gallon of water with us...Smokey Bear would be sad.
