FS Road 219 Mormon Lake

Free dispersed camping along FS Road 219 provides access to Mormon Lake area without developed amenities. The road becomes rough past the cattle guard, requiring careful navigation, though most sturdy vehicles can manage the route about a mile in. Four large sites sit near the entrance, with additional smaller spots available further along the forest road.

The Mormon Lake General Store operates Wednesday through Sunday within walking distance, offering essentials, fuel, and water at 20 cents per gallon. Sites can accumulate litter from previous visitors. Holiday weekends bring increased activity and noise levels, while weekdays typically remain quiet. A barrier gate at the entrance may close the area seasonally, potentially as early as November 1st when Mormon Lake Lodge RV Park & Campground closes for winter.

0.3miles off asphalt Morman Lake

Thursday-Sunday. Was quieter at east end of campground away from FS219. Side by side noise from the convention was not too disruptive.

Great dispersed campsite right outside of Mormon Lake Village

This is a hidden gem right as you enter Mormon Lake Village. Even though it is free dispersed with no amenities, The Mormon Lake General store is within a short walk. The store is open Wednesday through Sunday offering essentials, fuel and water. As of 9/1/25 price is 20 cents a gallon. Cash is NOT accepted so have debit or credit ready. There are about 4 large sites right at the entrance and several more smaller ones further in. Once pass the cattle guard on FS219 the road gets rough. Passable if you take it easy with most sturdy vehicles. Our Hyundai Santa Cruz made it in and out about a mile in.

The site is quiet on most days, but holidays can be pretty full and noisy.

Our site was full of trash, wweended up collecting a full contractors bag in addition to our own garage.

The town and the locals are friendly and helpful.

Keep in mind Mormon Lake Lodge closes November 1st, not sure if FS219 closes as well. There is a large barrier gate at the entrance so it is possible that the site closes as well.
