Free dispersed camping on Forest Service Road 526 in Bienville National Forest comes with a significant caveat: as of mid-2025, a no trespassing sign has been posted roughly half a mile down the service road, making legal access uncertain. One earlier reviewer noted a large pull-through site capable of accommodating bigger rigs, with no fire ring but evidence of past fires. Campers should verify current road status with the US Forest Service before making the trip. Those researching dispersed camping outside Bienville National Forest may find more reliably accessible alternatives in the area.
