Customer Reviews
For anybody who likes to go out camping with bare minimum this is the spot for you no services at all at this location which is exactly what I like the most didn't see anybody for a whole day.
Watch for yellow jackets in the ground. Take what you bring in and don’t trash the place and we will be able to continue our stay. We took someone trash bags but couldn’t grab the cans left behind full of water and bugs. Leave no trace. Worst stay for bugs in the up by far of our two week stay. We had a screened tent too. Beautiful medicinal plants surrounded the camp. Fire was made in stone ring. Very quiet. Bring a shovel for your waste as there are no toilets. No water or garbage service. Just the way I love it.
Excellent location to enjoy nature away from civilization! Camping here is truly primitive with no water, toilets, or electric hookups. Campfire rings are made of rocks, so bring cooking grates and whatever else you would need to prepare meals.
Very very rustic! Which is what me and my dad love. No toilet or water so pack efficiency, rode are ORVS from the campsite all over the area!
Beautiful rustic camping area. Limited winter access.
