Enjoy dispersed camping on government land and leave no trace. Pack in and pack out. No (or limited) services at this camping area. Permit may be required.
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.
