22S12 is an out-and-back trail with several designated campgrounds along the route. There is approximately 8 miles of pavement until it becomes a dirt road at Poison Creek. Poison Creek is a dispersed campsite with fire rings and plenty of space for up to 8 vehicles.  

Several spurs along the trail lead to dispersed camping and are well-marked. There are many overlooks where you can stop and enjoy the scenic views. If you are traveling into the area, 22S12 is a quick and easy trail to find a place to camp for the night.  The trail has remnants of a paved road, but it has deteriorated into a combination of paved spots and graded dirt road with washboard bumps. A stock SUV or car can complete it. Permits are required for campfires, charcoal fires, and portable stoves. There are no garbage services in the area, so you will need to "Pack it out".
