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.
The Tres Piedras Ranger District is managed for many multi-use purposes; hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, camping and personal firewood cutting are among the activities.
I've stopped at a lot of Forest Ranger Stations and gotten varying levels of knowledge and service. This one by far has the friendliest, most professional and helpful rangers I've ever encountered. Thank you so much Melissa and James!
To reach campsites, head past the ranger station on 64, enter national forest, and turn right on first signed forest road. Campsites all over, many big enough for RVS.
