Hidden gem (with fossils)
Very nice secluded spot right in town! However the other reviews weren't lying, that hike down is tough! Make sure to o ly bring what you can carry easily in 2 or 3 trips (small coolers or cookers not anything huge or heavy). Also lovely creek loaded with cool fossils! Had a great time. May return depending on if I can bring less haha.

Great area, great biodiversity of plants for identification ! Although I wasn’t able to see any, I did hear some great birds (barred owl). Wish the area was made a bit more obvious to where you could and couldn’t be bc it’s dispersed camping but what seems like a shared backyard ? Other than that be prepared for steep, unkept trail, it is dispersed camping so get ready for wandering a bit !

Hike in only
Both sites were not accesible by suv. Hike in would be necessary. However there was also no space to park your vehicle aside from in the tall weeds at the edge of the road. There was supposed to be a dirt road to drive into the site, but no road or trail was visible. The area was completely covered in waist high weeds and tree branches. We did not go down to the camp site because of the inaccessibility. The site itself may be wonderful, but we never saw it. I hope that in the future the description will reflect that pack in is necessary and parking is an issue so that people can choose what fits their needs. On the plus side, I was able to get ahold of James on the phone an he helped us to find where the dirt access road was supposed to be and he refunded our money when we were not able to access the site.

Paid for nothing
Did not end up camping here, not prepared for the backcountry camping and unsafe trail with down trees
