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.
Stunning beautiful and quiet spot 3.5 miles down Lockhart Basin Rd. First 2 miles groomed gravel, then it’s a combination or sand, rock, and a crossing of Indian creek. We did it in the spring and there was about 6 inches of swiftly moving water but the bottom was flat and not soft. Easily passable in a Ford Explorer rental. Shortly after passing the creek the trail climbs up, around, and down a rocky outcropping that forms the backdrop for the camp site. The 40ft cliff carved by the river forms the other side. This site is very quiet, as it is down a 100 meter one way trail that leads only to this site. The road passes by at the top of the rocks overlooking the site but not near as to be a bother and we only saw 2 cars pass in the late afternoon, then nothing until we left mid morning the following day.
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.

Nice and quiet. The last hundred yards of the access road can be risky when muddy.
Report Check-Ingreat spot! there were lots of campers on the road leading to this place but once we drove through the notch in the rocks, we felt completely alone.
