Best spot for dispersed camping. Lots of sites, Porta Potties were clean, lots of toilet paper and there wasn’t too much trash around. As always I left my spot cleaner then I found it. It’s also 5 minutes from The Tail of the Dragon stretch on I129. No Verizon service, which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you feel about it. 🙂
