Mineral Springs Trailhead

Dispersed camping at Mineral Springs Trailhead comes with a notable caveat: at least one camper has been asked to leave by law enforcement in the middle of the night, suggesting overnight stays may not be permitted or consistently enforced. The site has picnic tables and trash service, with lake water nearby and access to hiking and fishing. RVs up to 30 feet can be accommodated. Campers researching places to camp around Kensington should verify current regulations before planning an overnight here. Tilden Regional Park is a more established nearby alternative.

Overnight stays not allowed

I was woken up by law enforcement and asked to leave on my second night staying here. They will issue a citation (luckily they took mine away and gave me a warning) this needs to be removed as a dispersed site.
