BLM - Free Dirt Camp on Buck Divide Rd

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Medford Ashland Field Office, this free dispersed area sits directly alongside a lake on Buck Divide Rd, an unpaved road that stays low-traffic but runs close to some camping spots. No marked sites exist. The road surface is dirt, can get muddy, and runs bumpy in sections, though one camper navigated it with a 20-foot trailer behind a van. Cell service is listed as available. Wildcat Campground is roughly a mile south for campers who want a more developed setup, and campgrounds near Ashland cover a wider range of options across the region.

Quiet and quick

We stopped for one night and it was out by a lake which was really pretty and quiet. No one else was there but could accommodate a couple other cars.

Beautiful, quiet

This is a flat-ish area, right on the lake. The road is very close, depending on where you set up, but is very low traffic. Very quiet at night.

Not paved. Can be muddy. A little bumpy. Made it just fine in my 03 astro and a 20 ft trailer.

There are not marked sites. I was the only one here that I saw. Found some shotgun shells, probably from duck/goose/ season (idk man I'm not a hunter.)
