We stayed at the first dispersed spot up NF-080, about a quarter mile past the Maxwell Sno-Park, in June 2020. The spot was beautiful, with access to awesome trails right off of the forest road. We hiked up to some lakes. Having access to the bathroom at the sno-park was really great. 

  

The downside was that in mid-June there were a lot of mosquitoes about.

Great dispersed spot with access to a bathroom at the sno-park. Some bugs.

Big parking lot.  No infrastructure.  Free!  Signs say overnight parking only.  I'm okay with that.  Buggy.  Skeeters and some hornets but not bad.  Some ants on the edge of the parking area.  Moved further in on the pavement.  No ants.  Some noise from the road.  Not.bad though.  Still sleepable.

Nice snow park.

Our friends had very positive reviews about this park, so we definitely want to visit it soon. I think it will be a great getaway. The only thing I wanted to mention is that the provided map in PDF format didn’t open on my PC for some reason. But I was able to convert it online, and the issue was resolved. Using https://pdfguru.com/html-to-pdf, you can convert HTML to PDF, vice versa, and into many other formats. So I find this editor to be a great service if you need to work with PDF files. It might be useful to someone else, just like it was for me.
