Beautiful campground tucked 4 miles deep in the wilderness. The soda spring is an awesome little Easter egg to come across amongst this national forest. Access to a creek. Multiple pay-for sites at this campground, along with a free one right next to the spring. Plus more free campsites along the road to the campground.
