Hunters, photographers, and campers who just want pine-scented air and low fees will do well here. Summer nights drop into the 40s-50s, days hit the low 80s, and at $8/night with a peaceful forest setting, the value-to-solitude ratio is hard to beat on a weekday.
No potable water on-site means every drop you need comes in your vehicle. Combined with pack-out trash rules and only 7 first-come sites that fill fast on summer weekends, this rewards planners with extra jugs in the truck, not spontaneous Friday arrivals.
