This campsite is literally the end of the line. You drive and drive and then you come up to the end of the road and park and walk another 130 steps to get to it. The site is level, hard packed dirt and sand (remember a ground cloth), has a good fire pit, and, as you can see from people's pictures, a nice view. It is a cross between car camping and backpacking, as everytime you need something from your car you have to walk the 400 feet back and forth. Good for steps. It won't be for everyone, but if you don't mind walking to your car several times a day (especially if you pack like you do for car camping) it's worth it. Will be back.

Great time. Great scenery. Couldn't ask for a better experience. The stars at night were amazing.
