See photos. Great camp site but the loop will. Kill. Your. Car! Only go in the east road. The west road is the way of destruction. 4 wheel drive only. Once you start you can’t turn around. Don’t risk it. Love your vehicle more than that. We got in late and loved the site. Very secluded. However. Half the loop is very high clearance, steep inclines and large boulders. I would camp again. But I’d stay on the east route! Learn from us! Bathrooms are on east side as well.

The park is very nice. Enjoyed a quiet ride up the mountain. The public picnic areas were cleaned and well maintained. A very nice enjoyable place. $3 vehicle fee for day use of picnic areas.

Very nice pavilon with tables. As another review said there is a lot of undergrowth removal and shredding of same. Very recent. Fire management. There are rattlesnakes around, but thats true most places. Restrooms clean. No water on site, you need to bring your own. There is a not functioning spigot at the gated fork in the road.
