Cod Pond Dispersed Pull-Off

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing and river access draw campers to this dispersed pull-off in Wilcox Lake Wild Forest, where a short dirt road leads to a site that's easy to miss from the main road. No cell service reaches the area. The site fits a mid-size SUV but has no room to turn around, so drivers should plan to back out. Bugs can be heavy in summer. Fox Lair Campsites sits roughly 1.6 miles northeast for campers wanting a different setup.

Private Campsite

Decent site right off of the “main” road. “Main” because it was quiet. Easy to access via a short dirt road, but also easy to miss. We only saw sites 3 and 6 marked and took #6. There was a fire ring and access to the river down a semi-steep bank. Beautiful to listen to at night. Site was big enough to pull our mid-size SUV down and unfold rooftop-tent, but we did have to back out in the morning; not enough room to turn around. Felt private despite the road.

Adirondack Camping Trip

Highly Reccomend! The directions in the app are accurate -but do keep in mind that the campsite is down a dirt road which is well hidden from the main road if you aren’t paying close attention. There is no service at all.

This site is campsite 6 and very private (I believe there must be others located close by). The site has it’s own private road. A car is not reccomended. Possible to turn around but you definitley need a smaller suv. There is a firepit at the site and plenty of space for multiple tents, ground may look flat but when sleeping-definitely is not. Plenty of trees for hammocks etc. You can hear cars from the site but the cars can’t see you-loved this! The sound of the cars from the main highway is something I got used to quick. The site is mostly shaded-the sun shines through a bit but not much.

There is a river down the hill from the campsite which helps keep it fairly cool at night. The bugs were terrible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Cod Pond located and how do I access it?

The directions in The Dyrt app are accurate for finding the site. Note that there is no cell service in the area, so it's advisable to download directions before your trip. The campsite is in a quiet area with limited traffic on the main access road.

What fishing opportunities are available at Cod Pond?

The campground offers access to a river down a semi-steep bank, which provides potential fishing opportunities. The sound of the river is audible from the campsite, creating a peaceful atmosphere, especially at night. For specific fishing regulations, species information, and whether a fishing license is required, contact the local wildlife or forest service office before your visit.

Are there camping facilities at Cod Pond?

Cod Pond Dispersed Pull-Off offers primitive camping with minimal facilities. Site #6 is marked and features a fire ring. The site is quite private and big enough for camping needs. There appears to be multiple sites in the area, with at least sites #3 and #6 being marked. As a dispersed camping area, don't expect amenities like restrooms, running water, or trash service. Prepare to pack in all needed supplies and pack out all waste.

What is the best time of year to visit Cod Pond?

The summer months appear to be a good time to visit Cod Pond, with confirmed visits in July providing positive experiences. The dirt access road might be challenging during wet seasons or winter months. Since this is a dispersed camping area, it likely doesn't have seasonal maintenance or snow removal. For the most enjoyable experience, plan your visit during dry periods when access roads are most passable and outdoor activities are comfortable.
