The most beautiful place we passed a night. We went here to see the stars, but the sky was cloudy 🤷♀️ It’s supposed to be a very good place in USA for it.

Permits required. Website says they need a 3-day lead time on permits, but I called the office and was told they can actually do same day. We got a permit through online application within about an hour. Lots of campsites available. Pets allowed under control.
We followed GPS coordinates from the state forest maps to the approximate location of the campsite. We didn’t find any labeled spots, but found a wide open area to pull car in and camp. Lovely large spot just off a forest road. Trails nearby. Babbling brook and lots of birdsong. Spent three nights without seeing a single car or other person.

Report Check-InWonderful place to park with gorgeous scenery! There are a few pulloffs and trail parking lots along the road leading up to this spot and more the further you go I assume. Only a handful of cars pass by each day. At night it's completely untraveled. There is a campfire ring and you park right next to "Refugee Trail". I personally did not obtain a permit and had no issues, but I only stayed one night.
