That one will brings you to the lighning campground, asa well as Massengers campground. The gate only closed from the beginning of the Lightning campground.
dope spot but you gotta drive pretty deep into the forest
I was passing through and wanted to check out this campground. It is currently closed. There are water spigots which are turned off--not surprisingly. There appear to be horse corrals. The roads to get here are closed to cars.
Area closed due to recovery from Sand Fire. You can get a ticket for being in this area.
