5.0/5
Absolutely beautiful place to camp, right under the mountain, gets cold and windy so be prepared, easy drive up as long as it hasn't rained in a few days, it floods easily.
No facilities, yet the solitude and the quite is worth it. Great hike up to the ski field club houses as well 6.5km from the camping spot
