Dispersed Camping
Tres Piedras Dispersed Site
About
USDA Forest Service
Carson National Forest
Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. It means no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables, fire pits and toilets are provided.
There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know these before you try this new experience. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.
The Tres Piedras Ranger District is managed for many multi-use purposes; hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, camping and personal firewood cutting are among the activities.

Wrong coordinates!!!
My friend and I followed the directions/coordinates that were given and I think they are super wrong. We ended up without service on a random road tucked back away from any main road. This road lead us into a cluster of three strange homes that all had extremely aggressive dogs. There was nowhere to turn around so we had to continue on into what felt like trespassing into their property. It took us a few to turn around, but it did not feel like a safe environment for anyone to stumble into. It definitely could have been our map messing up, but just wanted to warn anyone who tries!
Great spot for dispersed
No hookups. Not many people. You can spend 14 days there. Make sure you practice LNT and take some time to enjoy nature.
