Campsite 1 ...

Up on the Cherry Ridge Camping Area, where there are eight campsites, separated by a nice wooded privacy buffer. This is the area I had hoped to camp at, but being shaded by the trees and at 1800 feet elevation, there was still a lot of snow left. I was tempted to try to drive up the snow and ice to get here, but decided I didn't want to risk getting stuck.
