    Southern Elkhorn Mtn/Powder River Basin Area

    Huge and diverse area

    Boondocking is easy with a camper van or tent setup in this national forest area, but it’s hard to make a generalization that covers this vast collection of campgrounds and areas. It earns a good review at the end of the day for being conveniently located and hassle free; you can always find a decent spot up around the bend and it’s the right mix of privacy and tranquility while being reasonable close to civilization if calamity strikes.

    Dispersed near Baboon Creek Quarry

    Good spot for a few nights

    There are a few spots and spurs off NF-6510 that would make for good boondocking. Might be hard to get level, but other than that it’s pretty nice. The spot on the map has a stone fire ring. There are a few spots before and after that would be suitable to setup camp as well.

    I got to the spot marked on the map in my extended Transit, but I’m sure road conditions may change with the seasons, storms; etc. Depending on your comfort, you may only want to head this way with high-clearance vehicle.

    Juntura Hot Springs Dispersed

    Rough Road Beautiful Views

    Passed it at first, and then was greeted by a pretty rough road (doable in AWD RAV4). HOWEVER it is very worth it for the beautiful views of the hills and river.

    No amenities, but a couple of makeshift fire pits. Plenty of space, should have no problem finding a spot.

    Part of the road was flooded by the river but there was still plenty of room!

    Never found any “hot springs” lol

    Fawn Spring Dispersed Camping

    Not a campground

    This place is on private property and has gates all around the area. Maybe it was once a campground but surely not anymore.

    Social Security Point Trailhead

    Great basic spot

    Very well maintained area. Bring your own firewood, the forest floor is extremely clean. There’s 4 sites on this road and a restroom at the end. We were car camping but most sites have smaller trailer access.

    Lunch Creek

    For Cars and Tiny Rigs

    Sweet little spot for smaller vehicles. We walked along the path to check it out before attempting it in our 26ft class c and I’m glad we did. The path was too narrow for us, and the road rose up a bit too high along the middle. A smaller vehicle shouldn’t have a problem. There’s a nice little clearing at the end of the path right along the little creek. Very peaceful and green when we came here in July. 

    At the main road there IS a spot large enough for our RV (that’s where we parked when we got out to walk to the creek spot) but we decided not to stay the night there. It wasn’t flat at all and a little too noisy and close to the main road. But it would definitely do in a pinch- very easy to get to- just off the main road to the right. There’s a fire pit marking the spot. 

    Zero cell reception in this entire area for verizon and ATT. No amenities here, this is a FS dispersed camping spot so please keep the area clean and pack out your waste.

    Juntura Hot Springs Dispersed

    Easy and peaceful spot

    Getting there from the coordinates on this app was easy, although maps said I would have to walk I was easily able to drive a small trailer in all the way back. Nice open spot with lots of places to park, was a bit worried how open it was but there were a few other campers all spread out so it just felt homey.

    Wolf Creek Reservoir

    Better than expected

    The location is right next to the reservoir. Rhe site we got was nicely graveled and a pull through.
