Campers regularly cited good road access and flat sites both near highway and deeper in forest. No cell coverage but road noise minimal. Winter access possible with snow conditions noted.

My kind of disperse camping

Camped in a pull over on the forest Road about a mile up from the suggested disperse camping spot. Loved it

Long dirt road to sites

Dirt road is in very good shape. No cell signal. A couple quick pull off sites right inside the gate would be good for a quick sleep. The other sites are 10-15 minutes drive down the dirt road. It gets tight in spots but its a good road a car would be fine. There are optional 4x4 roads off to the side I didnt explore. A few pulls offs for walk in tent camping. So once you go back and couple miles you will come to a cross road with another good dirt road. Take a right for the big open dispersed sites.

Peaceful and beautiful

Followed the directions provided. We followed the USFS road for about 1/2 mile up the hill. Found a nice spot and backed in for the night. No AT&T coverage so we had no distractions.

Good for an overnight

We arrived in the dark and left in the dark in late December 2024.  The pull-off was flat and about 150ft from highway 160.  There was a gate near our spot that was closed, presumably for the winter.  Although we could hear road traffic it didn't keep us awake. There was about 4" of snow on the road.
