Convenient, primitive camping for rock climbers

Dispersed camping exists at the trailhead for The Needles which is at the end of FS-21S05, a three mile dirt road. Camping is free. The only amenity is a pit toilet, so you need to bring your own water and pack out all your trash. No fire pits, if you want to use a stove you should get a fire permit ahead of time. Very quiet, plenty of room to spread out. Gets cool during summer nights still.
