    Duncan Reservoir South Site

    Duncan Reservoir off season

    Found this unmapped camping spot by following a USFS access road to an old boat launch area. Water is too low now to launch, but several fire rings, an older seasonally maintained pit toilet and minimal noise and light pollution made for a great stay. I am fully self contained.

    Hogback Road Dispersed

    Free camping near Adel

    As we were driving on along Highway 140 near Adel, it was getting dark and we needed a place to camp overnight.  I used PRO map layers to navigate a little way up Hogback Road / CR 3-10 toward Plush and found this handy turnout on BLM land.  The night sky with Milky Way was amazing and we didn't hear any traffic during the night.  In the morning, we awoke to a beautiful sunrise and sounds of migrating birds taking flight from their nighttime stopover at (mostly dried up) Crump Lake, across the street.  We also enjoyed watching a herd of Bighorn sheep grazing by the side of the road.  This site was free and fine for one night if you're in the area, but don't expect any privacy or amenities.
