North Mingus Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 413

This was not an easy place to find. We came through Jerome and took 89A S all the way through. If you get to Potatoe Patch campground you are very close, but make a left off 89A South to get to these spots instead of a right (where the fee site Potatoe Patch campground was closed)

Not much shade at the top. But have cell phone and wifi service. Spaces are spread out and if you keep going down the 413 road another 3 miles there are about 40 camping spots between beginning to end of road.

Many free campsites to choose from, primitive roads are ok enough for my Corolla to navigate. One of the few free campgrounds I’ve been to that was actually clean. Quiet and respectful neighbors spaced out very nicely.
