Roadside Campsite on FR 71

|

There are many road side campsites along Kelley Stand Road, Forest Road 70 (to Lye Brook Wilderness) and Forest Road 71 (to Stratton Air Field/Kelley Stand Road). Most of them are pretty basic with no facilities but stone fire rings, although some are a little farther back then others.
