Loved this spot! Secluded and enough space for all the tents and fire pit! It was calm and perfect for camping!
Very nice! Food shelter was a plus. Not quite deep in the forest but still nice little get away. No stream.
No water source, but you do park and walk 1,000 feet to the site. It has a bear proof food locker and a few fire pits. There's a small trail off the site but its a dead end. Its pretty flat for tent space and secluded. You still hear the train in town, but no one bothers you here. Bring rope to hang your bags and carabiners to hang your food bags in the locker space.
Trek in is 300 some yards. You will want to pack light. Stream very close by with water hole made for eagle scout project. Would recommend campsite 5 over this location due to long hike in
Campsite is located a short walk back Hairy springs trail. Super quiet. Perfectly secluded.
