This space is very large so it may be best to divide it by the access points. Stayed here for the past 2 years overwinter. The area is maintained fairly well.
There are plenty of spots to choose from and very level. Not alot in the area to do, but the Vekol ranch is awesome, if you're into abandoned homestead. Some trails for sxs also. Mountain views and sunsets are awesome here.
