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
Walked through it to goto the Punch Bowls. We will definitely backpack and camp here.
kind of lacking because of the drought right now, but when things subside it's definitely the most awesome place in the county
