You may camp outside of developed areas across most of the Coronado National Forest at no charge. We recommend that you stop in to one of our five ranger stations to pick up a free travel management map so that you are aware where vehicles are and are not permitted.
Potable water, restrooms, and other amenities are not available at dispersed sites. If you choose to camp outside developed areas, be sure to bring adequate water or be prepared to purify any water source before drinking. No permits are required to camp in wilderness areas.
The Coronado National Forest has a 14-day stay limit on all camping. Areas designated as “Day Use Only” are limited to posted hours, no overnight use.
Very nice and spaced apart spaces!! There was some trash, not terrible, and lots of ants. I would being a spray to get rid of the ants
Great place to detach from everyday stress. The nighttime sky is beautiful and it’s worth it to see the kids have fun with nature instead of the screens on their face
Doable first come first serve dispersed camping. Some sites are super large and great for group camping and/or sharing. The road is not suggested for low clearance. Lots of scraped rocks were proof of that. There are 12 official sites, with the last one ending at 1.6 miles for main road. Very slow 5mph even with high clearance. Will post photos in order of sites and pull offs. Some do not have official numbers and the photos I post in between numbered sites are in order of passing. Only a few with shade certain times of the day. Most of the large numbered sites are for more than one car. After speaking with the ranger it is okay to take a second camp site in a numbered site as they are not reserved and there’s plenty of room to share. Along the road there are private gates and some closed areas that are all marked. Also, some sites have hammock trees!
Great dispersed camping numbered spaces. The road into proctor road is easily accessible by any vehicle I drive a 26 ft converted bus and have made it in and out no problem. There are free range cattle that will come over and say hello. It can get cold in winter. Love this place over all.
