Private and wonderful
2nd time here from 1000 miles away and for good reason. Private. Great views from so many spots at the site. The sky is amazing. Bring binoculars. Easy to get to. This time I used it as base camp for Devil’s Tower and Needles Highway and other local sights. As well as spent ample time at the sight. The loudest thing there was my tinnitus. Thanks again!

Peace and solitude
The views are incredible. The stars are out of this world if you pardon the pun. Daniel communicated well before and during my 5 night stay. I have a Chevy Colorado off road edition and an off road travel trailer and I had no problem going to the end. Finding a level spot will be a challenge at least for me it was. I did occasionally get Verizon if I went about as far as you could go without going off the cliff. My dog loved it. We saw deer and turkeys and tons of chipmunks and pine squirrels.

Beautiful off grid camping!
Absolutely awesome off grid site. No cell service so be prepared. Really beautiful back country area, super peaceful. So glad we stayed here!

.09 miles off the pavement
Remote, rugged and wonderful. Accessible by car. Pull off the the road and enjoy the upper lot with a small rv or camper. If your more of a tent camper pull down the hill to the left and set up a tent in the flat area before the view on the right. If you have 4 wheel drive go down to the left and then up again to the upper field and camp anywhere.

Breathtaking
This site is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely beautiful, secluded, and every moment felt like a picture. I did drive a low clearance car and while it’s possible I did hear some scratching and my reverse camera popped off. I think the best spot for low clearance cars is the bottom of the hill but I spent a night at the top of the hill and a night at the bottom. 100/10 would come again.
