Great spot! Awesome location in the middle of the Forrest really private, has a fire ring too! Little hard to find its not on the main road, pull off a little track then follow it down through the trees for maybe 200 meters the there it is! Be careful with low cars and if its been raining a lot might be difficult to access

Lots of free dispersed camping all around this area! Its a national Forrest so any spot that not private property or doesnt say no camping means you can camp, use common sense though!
