East Humboldt Wilderness is a nice, quiet spot for camping. It’s pretty easy to find, even after dark, with just a short dirt road to get there. The area is clean and feels safe, with a good view of the surrounding landscape. There are free-roaming cows in the area, which added a unique touch—they kept to themselves, and we did the same. Overall, it's a peaceful place to camp if you’re looking for something simple and off the beaten path.

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
TravelerRoad out to angel lake closed so was humboldt loop
ScoutGood view felt safe and my fiesta sedan made it with zero issues. There’s a big spot for a U Turn as well
GuideGreat dispersed camp site minus the cow pies that we're all over. Free range cattle may show up randomly.
TravelerWorth a stop in the spring for sure
TravelerWe went to have a looks and less than a mile in the road was covered by several feet of snow. We have a 4wd and I couldn't have gotten through without damage.
RangerOfficial 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.
TravelerSeveral 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!
GuideThis is a beautiful day use Picnic area ((Power house for groups and single picnics) on the banks of Spring Creek. They have great views of the Creek very nice clean restrooms and the host Dale is the best.
TravelerI 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.
