Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. It means no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables, fire pits and toilets are provided.
There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know these before you try this new experience. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.
Camped here at least a dozen times over the years, surprise it's still clean.
Very quiet and the river can drown out the traffic that isn't that much to begin with.. Now in early to mid fall it gets damp and chilly due to the creek and temp drop, not much sunlight.
Never had any bad experiences other than Chipmunks chewing through my North face Sea Bag on my motorcycle, Don't Feed the wild life.
It's a chill spot with a great mountain view and the calming sounds of a moving stream. Not too far from all the trails. Has a fire pit and vault restroom. I would definitely stay there again. It's a popular spot so you gotta get there early to get a campsite as it's first come first serve.
Best place I've camped in a year! 2021 was very cool but by 2022 not so much...same facilities but the cool vibe went somewhere else...and summer 2023 even worse...dog fight???? And...
