    Dispersed Sites Before Campground

    Official campground is only open May-September. As noted by others there are a few dispersed sites off the entrance road to the official site. Views are stunning but most of the better sites are high clearance vehicle access only, with few turn around locations. Highway noise isn’t bad off hours, 1 bar ATT, none with Verizon. WeBoost helps.

    Crisp mountain fresh air,beautiful scenery

    I live close by, but love to go out and spend time traveling up here and just enjoying the scenery. The wildflowers are fabulous and there are just so many of them. I really enjoy looking over the beaver dams along the creeks. The mountains are great for hikes,I just have yet to do it due to bad ankles from broken ankles, but; have had friends tell me they enjoy it.

    PLENTY OF DISPERSED CAMPING SITES

    Several dispersed camping sites before you get to the actual campground. Good spacing on the sites for privacy. Easy access to the creek for clean fresh water. Beautiful views!

    High clearance for some great spots!

    Much like the other reviews there are a few easy to get to spots off of FS Rd 660. After turning right onto the FS gravel road you can take a left or right to dispersed camping spots. If you continue straight you end up at a private campground, but plenty of space to turn around. We turned right off of the FS road, there’s revel spots easily assessable via car, we went further down, rock crawling, high clearance required, and found the perfect spot nestled in the trees about 10ft from Lamoille Creek. Spent 4 days there and only had two other veichles attempt to get further down. If you turn left off of FS 660, there are about 4 spots easily assessable, but if you keep going the last two spots (high clearance required) are right next to the creek, one with shade, one not so much

    Lamoille dispersed

    The main paid camp ground was closed. Just took a right and was back in the wilderness with mountains all around. Many dispersed camping sites but probably need 4x4 with elevation to get to the best.
