Customer Reviews
An incredibly beautiful area with stunning views only a walk away. When we arrived, the 3 main sites were taken, but we just boondocked on a flat area in the campground. Had an incredible time.
Great place to camp for free! There are 3 sites each with a table and fire pit but if there are people camping at them you can camp anywhere in the area. There is a nearby park with a shower that costs quarter and a bathroom also there is a water bottle fill up at the park nearby and good trails. 5 minute drive away from a gas station with a market and a cafe.
Beautiful camping not many sites so weekend can be full. No amenities but some tables and grills.
BEAUTIFUL place. Amazing scenic drives. Peaceful and totally worthy of a stay!
Very secluded surrounded with pines on the flat country ground.
