At the trailhead, there is a 0.1 mile rocky road barely passable for regular passenger vehicles. You could park near the paved road and avoid this.  There is a primitive camping area big enough for a number of groups of people, no picnic tables or anything and no fee.  It's a little bit junky because it's not maintained too frequently.
