Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Awesome spot with beautiful views north and south. The road is steep and rough but there's a flat spot here large enough for big rigs with just a bit of leveling. We had no trouble getting our 44' 5th wheel in and leveled out.
This is NF land, and is not a designated shooting range, but there is a small parking area on the south side of the road with an open area and hillside to the southwest, so people come here to do target shooting. There are typically 2-3 groups per day. So if the sound of gunfire bothers you, don't come here. We had no issue with any of the people that came to shoot.
We also left several times in the evenings to go into town, and there was no issue leaving the RV unattended.
Cell service on Verizon is not great here. 1-2 bars at best. You can make calls but don't depend on good data.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Decent spot. Road coming in is bumpy, but we were fine in our 170' Sprinter, and the group in the spot next to us has a pull behind camper. As mentioned, shooters have been up here doing target practice on the other side of the road. It's not that bad noise wise inside the van, but if you're outside, or you have you have doors open, it is pretty loud. Great T-mobile service with our roof mounted antenna!
