Wild flowers and lots of open space

The Larson Ridge Dispersed camping areas off FR237 don’t have a lot to offer, but it does have space. Plenty of room here to spread out. The further up the road you go, the less rocky the sites become. You are also further away from the vault toilet, if you camp up this far, I wouldn’t expect to use that toilet at all.

This spots are on the ridge, so be prepared for wind. Our last day we had a pop up awning get lifted up into tree branches and aluminum poles snap on an REI tent.

This area is also really dusty which can make you feel like your in a sand blaster when the wind kicks up.

Lots of FR to ride around on ATVs/ mini bikes. We had fun looking at wild flowers and playing bocci ball.

There were lots of pine but it was warm in the sun in the heat of the day. We were there in June though.

Triple check your fire pit before you leave. Make sure it is out

Take a mask!

The campsite itself was nice and clearly marked. Lots of places to camp and close to a little walk where you can find geodes all over the ground!

Issue was, our campsite was right next to the road and people speed by in quads and trucks, kicking up a lot of dust. If we had gotten a site further in I feel it would have been more enjoyable. Would go back to see if we could get a different site but it fills up quickly.
