Very handy, right off US 50 on a really long, really boring road with the only other option being roadside pull-offs. Far enough off the road to be very quiet.
The short petroglyph trail takes you to a west facing view over a the Big Smokey Valley, and a nice sunset.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
Very handy again. Almost full moon meant I could hike the Petroglyph Trail by moonlight!
perfect still night. one other campsite occupied, by a quiet person!
still very handy and all, but significant snow in the sites and kind of a dicey road in and out. More excitement than I bargained for.
very handy, right off US 50, yet very quiet and pretty and all-around fine!
