What a find! Just off the main dirt road to your left. Beautiful level site with wonderful views. Quiet with rock fire pits and plenty of firewood around. Just a short drive from I40. (The main campground was closed so keep going and take the first left dirt road to the dispersed camping area.)

We were unable to camp there. Camp grounds closed from Dec through March. We parked nearby and walked through the site.
