Overall Rating
Although the site was okay, getting in involved driving through a lot of low hanging branches and NOT BIG RIG FRIENDLY!!
There was a river on the side of our camping spot but the highway was just as close on the other side so in the end this was little more than a shabby pull out off the highway.
Backbone area is cool, a nice hike up very slippery paths with 100’ drop off.
Could be nice but looks more like its had 10 or 20 years of neglect.
Also...the online APP reservation.Gov charged me $18 with my Sr. discount and when we got there the sites were $10 per site and my Sr discount should have been only $5.
