Good camping out here, but mostly shines with its OHV capabilities. If you’re looking for good off-roading, it is definitely available out here, but there’s a very big variety of activities that people pursue out here. Not always the crowd you want to see if you know what I mean. Cool camping and very pretty views, but lots of broken glass, trash, shotgun shells, and other things that you’ll find. Overall, we’d return again in the future just because the camping is really pretty, but always expect to encounter people.
