Reviews
3rd year to book it for a group camping trip. I definitely like the Jay site better than robin for tent camping. There are more designated spots. Both sites have a huge pavilion and tons of tables and a large fire ring. Jay has about 7 obvious rent sites, but more could fit. One site you can drive your vehicle into as well.
No water, no electricity. Fine restrooms. Lots of charcoal grills.
Great site for a medium group that is close enough to town that people can join for the day.

See photos. Great camp site but the loop will. Kill. Your. Car! Only go in the east road. The west road is the way of destruction. 4 wheel drive only. Once you start you can’t turn around. Don’t risk it. Love your vehicle more than that.
We got in late and loved the site. Very secluded. However. Half the loop is very high clearance, steep inclines and large boulders.
I would camp again. But I’d stay on the east route!
Learn from us! Bathrooms are on east side as well.
