This primitive camping was OK until I arrived. All the camping spots were taken already. So I made my own about 300 yards down from the road. This is especially one of those cool camping sites you want to be in but especially enjoy myself.
Beautiful place. Very good to visit early in the morning and watch the fog disappear o er time.
Amazing primitive camping. Parking right by sites also hidden ones farther down. The road is a little sketchy but it's fine and worth it. Great trails. Right by river. Easy spots to collect fallen branches for fire wood. Some scorpions but not a lot. A large amount of spiders. Flat sites. Tent only. Fire rings. Very secluded. Bad cell service.
Great hike and what looks like great rock climbing!!!
As always, this place has provided me with a free place to lay my head out in the middle of nowhere--except climbing on the T-Wall is just a few minutes hike away.
Beautiful area, great clean campsites. This is a coveted rock climber's destination. Prepare to meet climbers and earth bounds from all the SE and further.
