Old Sierra Madre - Medicine Bow National Forest Dispersed

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and undeveloped, Old Sierra Madre - Medicine Bow National Forest Dispersed sits within Los Padres National Forest, managed by the US Forest Service at no cost to campers. No amenities are provided here. Dispersed camping means no designated sites, no hookups, and no facilities, so self-sufficiency is essential. Nearby, Miranda Pine Campground sits roughly four miles southeast for campers who prefer a more structured setup. Those comfortable with carry-in, carry-out camping will find this a workable base in the Los Padres backcountry.
