No hookups here — this is genuine off-grid camping, best suited for self-contained rigs and tent campers who prefer solitude. Sitting at elevation brings cooler temperatures, thinner air, and the kind of sweeping views that make the drive worthwhile. Cell service is likely limited out here — consider it a built-in reason to properly unplug.
