Cross-country skiing in the dark is one of the more unusual experiences reported from Foothills BLM, a free, drive-in campground managed by the Bureau of Land Management outside campgrounds near Hackensack. The site includes picnic tables, firewood, and ADA-accessible facilities, and pets are welcome. Campfires are permitted. Winter visitors have logged hours on the trail system here, and Spider Lake Trail - Dispersed Camping sits about 1.7 miles southwest for those wanting a more dispersed alternative. With only one review on record, conditions beyond the basics remain largely undocumented, so campers should plan accordingly and come prepared.
