The Bar
This site has the most gorgeous views. The property was clean and easy to access. The Bar was weathered and rustic which made the experience more outdoorsy authentic. I enjoyed it for the short amount of time I got to stay. The only thing that was a downer was that the the 2 sites are a little to close to be considered secluded. You can hear each sites conversations. But I do hope to be back again in the near future and bring a bunch more people.

Our 3rd stay. Still an amazing site. No clue why someone complained about an unbearable oil smell in a review, 3 times there never noticed it. Lot of ticks around the site this trip but that's the whole Gorge area, so pack the bug spray. Planning our next trip already. Can't beat the view.

The Bar
Love the view, loved the sheltered bar setup to make cooking easier, loved the cliff edge to park folding chairs and watch the sunrise. However, the off road party that had to break up upon arrival, the trash, piles of cigatte butts, broken chairs, extension cords, and old construction supplies scattered around, and the smell make the experience so much less than the $70 price tag. Oh, that smell. It from an open crude oil tank 25yds from the site. If you are lucky it blows away, if not, well, the label on the crude tank says that the fumes are flammable and may cause dizziness or fainting. For $30, I might recommend, perhaps for $50 if there was a warning about the fumes and the trash cleaned up but no way for $70/ night.
