Is this even a camping location?!?

This location is absolutely breathtaking but I worried about getting towed and getting in trouble for camping here. It dropped me off in a location you weren’t allowed to walk on much less camp on so I kept driving until I entered the national forest. I was only there for about 5 hours, so I’m not sure if I was allowed to be there or not.
