Great area for the family. Nice cool creek to play in and cool off when it gets hot. A lot of the spots were pretty secluded from one another with brush. So it had privacy. Atleast by the ones we stayed at on the creek side. We will definitely be back!!

Pretty spot with a cool little one mile loop trail attached. It is pretty isolated--about 20 miles off 126. No cell or wifi so be aware you're kind of cut off. I left on my third day due to a group of loud sketchy people setting up right next to me. If you camp alone something to consider.

Very remote space. About 1 hour (rv speed) down a windy road. Amazing creek and trails that kids enjoyed discovering. We wish we had more time there.
