50 meters on the left after the "deadman pass trail" on Google map. Nice spot in the woods, muddy road. I wouldn't go if it had rained the past days. We went with a 2WD Ford transit and it was fine.
Acces to a hiking trail

A great little spot. The access road was a little rough due to recent rains. There is room for several vehicles. I got there about 7PM and only saw one couple who came into hike.

Recently graded road and nice quiet flat area. 3 of us shared the small trailhead.

Short gravel road to an open flat spot. Hiking trails all around. Right next to the road but I like it cause I feel more safe. Great spot.

This place is a few miles off of 90. Short gravel road that takes you to a trail access. We got here around 5pm and there were two cars that were just day hikers for the day. Both were gone by 6pm. Pretty spot, but you hear the road next to it. Would stay again. Big gravel area good for dogs to run around, etc. Lots of wildflowers around too!

Nice spot. We didn't drive up the hill and as you would need to drive through the grass to do so I wouldn't suggest it to anyone to protect the nature. Most of the Trailhead is not really flat, so room for 2 cars or vans without leveling blocks. From 8am on hikers came, don't expect to sleep long.

Nice spot, as described below! I’m checking in from the actual turnoff in case that helps correct the gps location

Road is a bit after Google map says to turn. Dirt single lane road but short 2WD no problem. Quiet spot and did not see any no camping signs as stated by previous individual.

Pretty steep climb but the skoolie did it and seems like a really nice top trail head but there are no camping signs . 3 bars of Verizon

The short gravel road was muddy, possibly from a rain earlier. we still made it fine in a non 4 wheel drive transit van. Got there before dark, no one was there. we stayed the night with no problems. very nice quiet spot.

This was a great little spot to park my van & spend the night. It seems like a trailhead parking lot & not necessarily designated as overnight parking but it’s part of the National Forest & no signs said otherwise!

Short gravel road that dead-ends on a flat spot - good for a couple vehicles. See photos!
