Shhhhhhh!!! Don't you dare tell anybody about my secret spot... Take Highway 67 South from Jacob's Lake. About 2/3 of the distance to the National Park, you'll see a sign and road on the right for "DeMotte Campground". The campground should be on FR22. However, don't pull in there. Go approximately another 5/8 of a mile and there is a well maintained dirt road on the right. I can't seem to find the number of this road, but you can't miss it. Take that road about 1/2 mile until you come to the junction of FR 462. On the SW corner of the intersection, there is a very large flat area with easy access for all kinds of RVs. The area is loaded with pine trees, deer and elk. It's easy to maneuver off the road and get set up. Just be careful to give the land a little time to dry out if you get a heavy rainstorm before leaving. From here, it's just a stone's throw to the park.
We camped there for a week. The area is so large to camp in, that from time to time, other RVs would pull in for a night, but they were always quite a way from us.

Enjoy - I'm envious.
