No restrooms,no electric, no running water, very secluded with the occasional hiker or horseback rider coming through. Wonderful experience to enjoy a piece of the great outdoors.
Far enough off Ridge road to be private but close enough that your vehicle is still convenient. Easy access to the Lower and Upper Lollipop Trails.
The picnic table was a bonus!
Fun campground for bare bones camping. No utilities or bathrooms. Only thing provided is a stone firepit.
Not my favorite spot and also not close to water. Other better spots
