Dispersed Camping

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Quiet enough on most nights, this free dispersed site in Sawtooth National Forest does see occasional vehicle traffic on the dirt road running past. No services, no hookups. The bumpy access road is manageable at low speed, and one reviewer fit a 30-foot dual-axle travel trailer in without major difficulty. The site has room for three or four rigs or five to six tents, and night skies here are notably dark and open. Nearby, Perkins Lake Dispersed Camping provides another no-cost option if this spot is taken.

Convenient dispersed camping

This is a dispersed camp spot with no services at all, but it is free. Nice and quiet, but a few folks did pass by in the dirt road/trail. The road in is a bit bumpy, but not terrible, just go slow. I was able to get my 30ft dual axel travel trailer in without much trouble. The spot could fit 3/4 rigs or 5-6 tents. Great view of the night sky.
