So many flies. Also dust.

From maps this looks like a large area, and for overland setups and smaller 4x4 rigs you might get more spots - but I drove as far as I could with a full size truck and counted 7 spots with fire rings and maybe 2 more that would be tolerable under duress. Those 7 spots are huge and will fit any size rig and multiple rigs for large parties. The rest of this area is sharply elevated and suitable for utv/atv/dirtbike access, and looks like it'd be great fun, but you aren't getting a trailer into most of it.

Keeping dust outside is impossible. As is keeping the flies out. But good news, they are stupid and easily killed - just don't plan on going in and out very often. If I went back I'd plan on hanging bug netting from my awning and staying inside it.

The spring across the road is also nice - lots of guys fishing if that's your thing. Too much algae and muck for swimming and not safe for small children.

I identified maybe two dozen spots by satellite before we headed out here. They were all occupied. We drove nearly an hour further than we had intended, with a forest map but without satellite as the internet dropped off about 15 minutes in, and I think we got lucky to find anything at all. Looking at the map after the fact we were almost at the reservoir and ours was probably the very last available spot in this area. And then only because we have a high clearance trailer and were able to get into a spot not many would have been able to get up into.

All that said, it was pretty and cool and we'd go back. Just maybe not on a saturday morning.
