SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A small stream runs through at least one of the pull-in spots along this dispersed road in the Roosevelt National Forest outside Ward, giving campers a water feature without any developed infrastructure. Sites vary in size, but reviewers note some have generous space. One Saturday evening arrival found the road open, which suggests weekends can still yield availability, though that's not guaranteed. Pack out all waste, as past visitors have left broken glass and shell casings at some spots. Wildlife sightings, including moose, have been reported near camp, so keep pets leashed and secured.

Sweet little spot!!!

This was a great spot for RTT and tent camping! We pulled in around 5pm on a Saturday—we’re surprised it was available. Good a few spots down this road, but the one we stayed at had a lot of space and a little stream running through. Definitely some dummies who left a bunch of broken glass, shell casings, and a few cigs. Don’t be like them! Let the spot stay gorgeous forevs!

We did see a moose near camp at night! Make sure you have control of your pets!
