The Setup

Setup is tent-only; no big rigs. Access via Inside North Fork Road; parking is tight and may require back-in angles on a narrow dirt lane. Expect to park near your site and shuttle gear a short distance; leveling may be necessary on natural ground.

The Vibe

Forested wilderness campground; solitude comes with rough road access and no hookups. Expect quiet nights next to a creek with limited privacy between sites.

Bath & Laundry

Vault toilets are the only facilities; no bathhouse or laundry on-site
