How Crowded: These sites are almost always occupied during the warmer months, and often by homeless people.

How Noisy or Peaceful: Sites #7, 8, and 9 offer the most peace and quiet due to being solitary. The other sites are paired together and can be more noisy.

Cellular Phone Signal: Weak signal strength from all three carriers.

Road Conditions: Keller Peak Road is paved all the way to the fire lookout. The campsites are hard packed dirt. The road is narrow, not suitable for long rigs or trailers, there is not much of a turnaround at the end.
