Off a decent road accessed through the Matney Knob Trailhead, this dispersed camping area provides drive-in access for campers who prefer undeveloped sites. The road conditions allow standard vehicles to reach camping spots without requiring high-clearance capability.
Fishing and hiking trails offer the primary recreation activities from this base camp. The trailhead access means hikers can start exploring directly from their campsite. For additional camping infrastructure, Matney Campground sits about a mile southwest with developed amenities. Check local regulations before setting up camp, as dispersed camping rules can vary by season.
