FR 535 Dispersed

FR 535 Dispersed camping areas are accessed via a dirt and rock road that is generally easy to navigate. The road condition is good enough that even sedans can make it to the camping areas. There are plenty of camping spots available right at the beginning of the road, with more sites farther in. The area remains accessible even after storms, though some caution is always advised when traveling on forest roads after heavy rain.

Forest Road 535 follows standard dispersed camping regulations for National Forest land. This means camping is typically limited to 14 days within a 30-day period. Campers should practice Leave No Trace principles, pack out all trash, and use existing fire rings where available. Always check current fire restrictions before your trip, as they can change seasonally. For the most up-to-date regulations, contact the local Forest Service office that manages this area.

Forest Road 535 can accommodate RVs and trailers, though the road is somewhat rocky in places. Campers have successfully brought rigs to this area, but higher clearance vehicles will have an easier time navigating the terrain. The road may be challenging after heavy rain, so plan accordingly. There are no formal pull-throughs or designated RV pads, so be prepared to level your rig on natural terrain.
