Its pet name and official ID is Mays Camping Area FS 167 Spur D2.

Difficulty

When using the Mays Camp Road for its intended use, it is a 1/10, especially when dry, but with the one mud hole at the turnaround spot, it could be deemed a 2/10. This is subject to change, considering the road is intended to be exclusively a camping access and it may be mended. Thin surface mud can be present throughout most of this road when wet, making things slick and potentially dirty.
