A secluded primitive campsite in the mountains north of Ophir. Features fire ring, but no other amenities. Wooded area. Popular trailhead for equestrians. Next to a small mountain stream. Some lovely scenery and aspen trees in the area. Enough room for a few overland vehicles and no cell service. Recommended.

What we don’t know
A land record can put you within a few metres of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- How many rigs actually fit
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
