Fantastic camping site. So completely away from everything. We woke in the middle of the to be treated to a spectacular meteor shower. You can expect total dark skies at this site, the only light coming from a distant ranch which totally shuts down by 2200. If you can get your equipment to it, highly recommend this spot.
One of the best views and start of several cool trails.
Really neat campsite
