Multiple free camping spots from the Y up to Fish Creek all the way to Coon Creek Cabin. 1st spots on the left are big rig friendly, you do have about a mile of dirt road before you get to them. Many spots that fill on the weekend quickly, road gets rougher the more you continue up to the cabin, if you have a bigger trailer and don’t find any spots in the first few locations turn around. Camping is designated with a “Yellow Post” and can be found on both sides of the road. You will need a campfire permit to have a fire when permitted, you can get them online from San Berdoo Forest.
