Close to the trail and close to water. Don't get discouraged in the final stretch; steep not short climb from Sunset Trail. If you're too tired, take the fire road for a more level climb.
Plenty of flat, sheltered tentsites with a food storage locker for each site. Fair warning: no sunset view to be had unfortunately.
Remote, the beaten track. No water but there's an outhouse and food storage lockers.
Spent a peaceful night in a slightly windy woods, nice location
