Golder Ranch Rd. Dispersed

Road conditions prove challenging at this dispersed camping area, where rough access limits larger vehicles and requires careful navigation. The terrain spreads across wide-open, hilly ground that accommodates both tent camping and smaller camper vans. OHV activity picks up on weekends, though the area maintains relative quiet during weekdays.

Campers use this spot as overflow when Ringtail Loop Campground — Catalina State Park reaches capacity. The rugged landscape provides access to hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, with campfires permitted throughout the area. Walk-in sites offer additional options for those willing to carry gear beyond vehicle access points.

Quiet but dusty

We've stayed here numerous times in a car and tent and camper van. Quiet, the road is bad and it's used as an ohv area, but mainly weekends. Wide open but hilly and very rugged. But if Catalina state park is full, as is usually the case, this can be used as an overflow.
