Arrival is deliberate: from the main entrance you’ll follow roughly one mile of interior farm road with some elevation changes before the campsite opens onto views of Boxley’s red cliffs. The site’s small capacity keeps the setting quiet; set up an RV or a tent in sun or shade, watch the cliffs as the light shifts and, after dark, take advantage of the clear, dark sky for stargazing.
