Something not right?

Description

Good:
-wide level spot, plenty of room for several small rigs or one slightly larger one.
-fire ring
-some shade and some sun (perfect for fall and spring days)
-solitude (we stayed for several nights and only saw four people the entire time, hikers that drove to the end of the road and hiked down the ATV trail).
-2 bars of Verizon 5G

Bad:
-lots of flies, some the biting kind. we killed ten or eleven in our rig within a two-hour period. I'm sure they're worse during the warmer months.
-the "view" of the lake isn't really a view at all, it's more of a flash of blue in-between the trees every now and again (this is a heavily wooded area, just don't show up thinking you're going to have a vista).
-the road. it is technically a road, and a 2wd vehicle could technically make it, but it's a rough go. Definitely wouldn't attempt in anything smaller than an SUV because you'll need the ground clearance. beware large-ish, sharp-ish rocks.

all in all, it was a fine spot and we enjoyed utilizing it. we picked up a lot of trash around the campsite - please pack out what you pack in. you can hike down to the water, using the ATV trail, but it is quite rocky and somewhat steep in places, but it's only about a mile and a half.

Report Check-In

Nice secluded spot. Made it in our 2WD sprinter van.

Report Check-In

Good spot to camp with a descent view of the lake below. Easy to get too also, 2wd's can make it easily. I saw a couple of pull offs to camp at on the way to this spot. It is pretty far walk to get to the water, daughter and i ended up not making it and turned around. So dont think your going to come here and swim or anything. Good verizon cell signal at this spot.
