FS-2363 Dispersed Camping - Murphy Overlook
Reviewed Jan. 29, 2023

Very quiet and remote

This was a very good location if you want some remote dispersed camping. I went on a Saturday night in January and only saw two people drive the forest service road. One on the Saturday afternoon I arrived and one on the Sunday morning I departed. There is a nice fire pit made of stones on the site and someone left some leveling blocks for your car as well. It had one of the best sunsets I’d seen in awhile. Being that far from civilization, there was no light pollution so seeing the stars and getting some night photos is possible. There was plenty of dead wood around the area so if you don’t bring enough firewood you can round up some.

One complaint about the site was I definitely heard gunshots in the area. Not sure if there was a gun range nearby or just some other campers further down the road having a good time. Just wasn’t the most comfortable thing since I was solo camping.

Like the previous review says it’s a 4x4 or AWD gravel road. I would not attempt with any other car.

AT&T service was spotty - basically nonexistent. So if you’re looking for a place to escape and unwind, this is a great location.
