A world-class recommendation — GPS and notes from veteran overlanders Dave vouches for, carried and detailed across his five decades in the field. Coordinates and facts are public. Confidence stays Likely until Dave's been there or the crowd confirms — then real field notes replace this.

From the field

A grassy field with a large fire ring overlooking the mountains in National Forest. Four-wheel drive required to access due to mud. Enough room for a few vehicles. Some flat spots. Surrounded by woods. Several other similar campsites with fire rings nearby. Excellent ATT cell service. This is a popular camping spot on weekends. Limited privacy. Recommended.
