Great hidden gem!
Amazing view! Sunset was spectacular. Dirt road was pretty rough, but a pretty solid spot for the area. Picnic table was good to have too. Nice level spot. Definitely would recommend

No maintenance effort at all
There is very little signage, and it is almost impossible to find if arriving at night. A string of LEDs or something along the borders of the road would have been an enormous help. The toilet was filled to the brim, and I refused to use it. It was truly disgusting. You would be better off disposing of it and not advertising toilets. Honestly, I booked a week but left after 2 days because of the toilet.

As advertised, quiet, away from anyone else. I agree with other reviewers who said get there before dark, the last part of the road is a bit tricky in the dark, but was no problem in the morning.

It's a little hard to find in the dark. Would recommend getting there before sunset, but other than that it's a great spot! Not far out of town, but far enough to be able to enjoy peace and quiet. Lots of Kangaroo rats run through the site at night!
