2 spots with an AMAZING VIEW were free when arrived. But I could just see by walking thereā¦ it rained before and it was impossible to go there without 4wd and especially an RV. If it's dry you should really go there, but early!

Cool spot, however, there are only three sites available. Two with table, one without. Get here early or don't bother.

DO NOT USE EASTERN EXIT WITH A RV! Rescued another camper yesterday with shovels and lifting jacks. Site is covered with RV underbody parts.
