BLM Skull Canyon Road Dispersed
Dispersed Camping in a Canyon
Coordinartes: 44.16547,-112.90392. Beautiful views. Large dirt and gravel site, right along side to Skull Canyon Road, about a mile from ID Hwy 28. Canyon walls on each side. Rough narrow rocky track to the site from the highway; recommend high clearance. High humps on this track. Small rock fire ring. Grass and sagebrush all around site. Some leveling may be required. Tent camping possible. Very peaceful; can hardly hear road noise from highway. The only vehicle that drove by was a national forest truck. No cell service. There are several boondocking sites, some with vault toilets nearby, along Hwy 28 in the Birch Creek Recreation Area.

ScoutWood Road Dispersed Site
Great spot off the beaten path
Great spot down by river. Mostly sunny area but found this spot with shade. Rough rd coming in but camper van accessible. Rock fire ring. There are houses across river but this site is private from that . Only bad thing is it’s quite a little drive back here. At 2pm on a Sunday no one around so far.

Henry's Fork Rivercamp
low key camping
friends and i left yellowstone at dark and just needed a place to sleep a decent distance from the park so we knew we’d have a place to sleep. arrived late and just found a spot and went to bed. cool spot, nothing crazy but great for a quick night’s stop.

Henry's Fork Rivercamp
Last minute camp site!
We decided to camp on the way back up from Jackson and found this little gem! There were plenty of RVs camping in open areas right by the entrance but if you follow the dirt road, there’s more secluded spots within the trees. The road was a bit rocky, but our sedan made it through with some careful maneuvering.

A river meadow paradise close to West Entrance of Yellowstone
Easy access able, numerous gravel spots in the forest or under open sky. Good fly fishing spot. Surrounded by mountains. We found a spacious and clean camping spot with a rock firepits.

Great location for the night
Nice location away from the highway to spend the night. Dirt road that is a little rough but accessible by low clearance car. Several pull outs to car camp.

Coal Creek Dispersed Camping Area
Flat camping area next to Coal Creek
Coal Creek Disperse Camping Area is a large flat grassy parking area just barely off the main road. Site has a large rock fire ring with plenty of flat areas to set up a tent or park a camper. Site is right next to Coal Creek. Being so close to the road you will have no privacy, but the remoteness of the area should mean little to no traffic at night. Disperse camping along FS route 100 is only allowed in designated locations in this part of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. All forest service disperse camping rules are in affect. Stay is limited to 16 days. No facilities at this site so come prepared. Site is at an elevation of 7000 feet

6100X Dispersed Camping Area
Just a grass camping area next to a creek
Dispersed Camping Area 6100X is not much to talk about. The location is just barely off the road in a bumpy grassy area along Forest Service route 100. This camping area is wide open, not much of a site, but does have a small rock fire ring. I would suggest not using the fire ring as small sage brush is growing along the edge of the ring, would build a new ring if you wanted a fire. While the ground is a little bumpy you should have no problem find a level enough spot for a tent and a camper should be no problem at all. Disperse camping along FS route 100 is only allowed in designated locations in this part of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. All forest service disperse camping rules are in affect. Stay is limited to 16 days. No facilities at this site so come prepared. Site is at an elevation of 7024 feet.
