Also known as Youngs Creek Trailhead and Youngs Creek Horse Camp and Trails. Driving out here I wasn't sure if there was going to be a campground or just someone's yard in the wilderness. It was actually really nice for a rustic campground. Cleanest vault toilets I have seen! We parked a 30ft RV/motorhome and were the only ones here at the end of March. Very, very peaceful. No frills and was completely fee free! There were plenty of nice grass sites for tents, too.
