Best Dispersed Camping near Skyforest, CA
Several free dispersed camping areas surround Skyforest in the San Bernardino National Forest. Mill Creek Dispersed Camping offers numerous flat spots for tent camping with nearby bike trails. The access road has both paved and gravel sections with notable potholes and washboard areas. As one camper noted, "The road has some steep inclines and hairpin turns that would make it difficult for an RV" though smaller vehicles can navigate the terrain. Most sites have cellular reception and allow fires when restrictions are not in place.
East Flats provides additional dispersed options with level areas suitable even for larger rigs. The area requires moderate clearance vehicles, with one visitor stating, "Trails a little rough but good thing I have X-Mode on my Subaru." Holcomb Valley Climbers Camp offers tent sites with picnic tables and is popular among rock climbers. Higher clearance vehicles are recommended for accessing many of these areas, especially after rain or snow. Most dispersed sites lack facilities such as toilets, trash service, or drinking water, so visitors must pack in supplies and pack out waste.
