Nice place, no utilities, tons of bees.
Tons of bees.

Fantastic place! Highway noise is minimal, and super private. It’s a huge gravel area, with two other smaller areas right off of it. I shared the area with another car camper and we were both able to do our own thing without feeling on top of each other. Follow a small trail in the back to the most cursed looking pit toilet ever. I don’t recommend using it.

Great spot in a beautiful environment in the Umpqua National Forest. You can hear the highway traffic, but it’s not so bad. The road was fine for a small car with low clearance.

Hmmm. I stayed here two nights and have mixed feelings.
Pros: Beautiful spot. Secluded. Didn't see another soul while here. Night sky is mind-blowing. Tall Pines are gorgeous. Adequate Verizon signal (2 to 3 bars). Did a zoom appointment and watched YouTube easily.
Cons: Road in is rutted and I feared bottoming out if I stuck to the ruts made by other vehicles. Narrow road in. Had I encountered someone coming the other way, one of us would have had to back up on a not-so-good road. Even though I drove a mile from 97, at night the traffic noise permeated the forest. Trucks braking, and a train? I think I heard a train. No whistle, just the chugging on the tracks. And bees. TONS of bees. So annoying I couldn't be outside. My dog snapped at one and it clearly stung him in the mouth. And of course dust. Couldn't walk without stirring up a choking cloud.

It is a little bit off the highway. Can hear a little traffic noise when outside. Nothing bad at all. A few fire rings. I was surprised how little trash there was. But picked up a few things I saw. Let’s keep it clean! It was just me here. But I like it that way. Stayed one night. All in all a great night sleep!

Great place, but not easy to reach in winter time with all the snow.

Spaces for a lot of cars. A smooth but bumpy road (if that makes sense) coming in. You’re not on it for long at all though. I was there on a Sunday night and no was there even in the other places along the road. This one and a couple others is further back from the road which I liked. Good Verizon signal. And close to salt creek falls

Wide open space - plenty big for our large RV. We're the only ones here. Road coming in is a bit bumpy and quite dusty - may be too muddy for an RV to navigate in rainy conditions. But very peaceful, quiet and surrounded by trees.

Fine place to park for the night that is secluded, but nothing particularly good about this. Can hear highway noise, a ton of bugs (July) and nothing special about the view. A couple of fire rings and good service on T-mobile

what a cool place! Just a short drive down a pretty decent Road and you get this great spot. I've even got T-Mobile LTE bars here. took me a little bit to get level but I plan on staying here for a while!

This large campsite is amazing! It’s near Hwy 97 so there is some Hwy noise but we were needing a spot quickly so after searching on google earth, we found this. High recommend. Fire pit, lots of room for multiple parties! Looks like a hunters group campsite. There’s even a hidden pit toilet! Great Verizon cell service.
