Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
There’s a bunch of spots up on this road on the way to this pin. The pin is where I ended up parking because all the spots below were full when I drove up at 10pm on a Thursday. Ended up being a really nice place to spend the morning. Verizon LTE is decent. Road is bumpy and steep, anything with a little clearance should be fine though.
DO NOT ATTEMPT IN AN RV.
4X4 highly recommended
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Great spots as mentioned but yeah road is no joke and no turnarounds! My 4x4 ambulance was a very bumpy ride.
Report Check-Inlots of spots on your way up, keep driving until you find an empty one. if you know how to push the limits of your small SUV, you can probably make it, in like a CRV, but it's rough.definately not an RV site, and don't try to bring a regular car.
Report Check-InVery difficult road to get here. 4WD only. A few free campgrounds, I think there are a lot more up the road some more, but me and my little car aren’t going to make it to find out.
Report Check-InNice campsite. Made it up here in a stock Subaru Crosstrek but would NOT recommend it.
Report Check-InHairpin turns on a steep, bumpy, rocky, icy road without guardrails. Too icy to safely get to the site right now. I have a Subaru with brand-new tires and I was sliding quite a bit because of the packed ice. Went to the Walmart parking lot in Evergreen instead, parking was allowed for one night only.
Report Check-InGreat location. As others have mentioned, would not explore this road without 4wd.
Report Check-InRoad to site is 3 miles steep and rough one lane with nowhere to easily allow passing traffic or turn around. Didn't make it to the site, turned around at the first opportunity about a mile in with two to go.
Report Check-InDO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IN AN RV. I have a 25 foot class c. I have done some rough dirt roads before but I almost lost my rig trying to turn around on this road. Way to steep. 4x4 highly recommended
