Primitive tent camping. Not suitable for most rvs. Few level parking spaces.

Shelton Wayside Park is also a well maintained place to camp. It is more spread out and has a lot of wide open areas for the sunshine during the day and star gazing at night. There were fewer people here than at Bear Hallow. Nice!

At this Park , there is a National Fallen Bikers Memorial. My Brother and I spent the day cleaning that part of the area. There is you have had a loved one past away and they road motorcycles, you can have a brick put into the park in memory of them. Cool stuff. They have a upcoming brick laying in a couple weeks. Hope to see you there. Oh, the park will be cleaned up also.

Come here almost every year for the spray rodeo and to explore the beautiful landscapes and abandoned buildings from failed towns and homesteads and than I can come back to a campfire and eat some warm food and enjoy nature

Nice, big and clean campground. Stayed during the time where no campfires were allowed so we improvised. We were the only ones there. Found a young cat that was obviously dumped there. Skinny and had an abscess on his face. Probably was out there for a few weeks. We took him home and he's working out great. Named him Shelton.

Look for the beautiful motorcycle rider memorial here, it will amaze you and leave a big impression on your soul.

I have stayed here twice. Loved how quiet and private it can be. Sites were well kept, and we were able to pick up plenty of firewood in the vicinity.

Camped 1Apr17. Had the park to ourselves. Really nice setup for primitive camping. The road above isn't highly traveled (at least at night) so it was very quiet. Bathrooms were well-kept.
